This fundraiser is about education, protection, and creating belonging for LGBTQ+ youth. Zoe was a bright, brave young girl who deserved safety, acceptance, and love. Instead, she faced relentless bullying and discrimination because of who she was. The weight of that cruelty became too heavy, and we lost Zoe to suicide. Her loss is a heartbreaking reminder of what happens when young people are made to feel invisible, unsafe, or alone. Zoe’s story is not unique — and that is exactly why this fundraiser exists. In her honor, we are working to create a trusted youth club and sports-based community space that supports LGBTQ+ youth. This club will be a place where young people can learn, grow, move their bodies, build confidence, and most importantly, feel safe being themselves. Our mission is to: • Educate youth and families about inclusion, empathy, and acceptance • Create protected spaces where LGBTQ+ youth are respected and affirmed • Use sports and group activities to foster confidence, teamwork, and belonging • Build a community where no young person feels isolated or unwanted Sports and youth programs can be life-changing. They give young people connection, routine, mentorship, and hope. For LGBTQ+ youth — especially those facing bullying or rejection — these spaces can be lifesaving. All funds raised will go directly toward launching and sustaining this youth club, including safe facilities, trained mentors, inclusive sports programming, and educational resources. By donating, you are helping ensure that Zoe’s story leads to change, compassion, and protection — so other young people don’t have to suffer in silence. Thank you for honouring Zoe, supporting LGBTQ+ youth, and helping us build a future where every child belongs. All donations, contributions and shares for this project are highly valued and appreciated, all money will fund equipment, food, utilities, sponsoring, ads and marketing purposes for our club ❤️
