Help the Naptown Sluggers Represent Indy at the Gay Softball World Series!
️⚾️ Who We Are
We are the Naptown Sluggers, an LGBTQ+ softball team proudly representing Indianapolis, Indiana at the Gay Softball World Series (GSWS) in Houston this September 2025!
Our team is a vibrant mix of gay, straight, men, women, and non-binary athletes coming together through a shared love for the game and a mission to foster community, inclusion, and representation both on and off the field.
For over 15 years, the Naptown Sluggers have been more than just a team—we are a chosen family, providing a safe, supportive, and empowering space for players of all backgrounds and identities. We’ve competed across the country and always brought pride to Indy, but this year, we need your help to make it happen.
Why We Need Your Support
Traveling to the GSWS is a dream come true—but it comes with costs we can't cover alone. Your generous donation will go toward:
• ✈️ Travel and lodging expenses
• Tournament registration fees
• Team uniforms and gear
• ️ Promoting LGBTQ+ representation and inclusion in sports
Every dollar helps get us one step closer to Houston and allows us to show the world what Indy pride looks like!
What You Get in Return
We're not just asking—we're giving back!
• Shout-outs on our social media
• Team photos and behind-the-scenes updates from the tournament
• Your name or business featured on banners, gear, or jerseys (for larger sponsors)
We are also part of Stonewall Sports Indianapolis, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your support may be tax-deductible!
Join Our Journey
This is more than a tournament—it's about visibility, inclusion, and proving that everyone deserves a place in sports. Whether you're donating $5 or $500, you are helping amplify LGBTQ+ voices and making a real difference.
Let’s show Houston the heart and hustle of Naptown.
Thank you for believing in us and supporting our journey!
⚾️ With love and grit,
The Naptown Sluggers
