## OUR MISSION:
Out Athlete Fund (OutAF) has been dedicated to promoting equality in sports. We recognize the need and advocate for inclusion regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, or physical challenge.
We believe in Visibility because representation matters; Opportunity to lift up those that want to make the pursuit of sport part of their core; Invigoration to generate energy and growth for the LGBTQ+ community; Celebration of LGBTQ+ people in sport; Empowerment of any LGBTQ+ person that wants sport in their life.
"V" is for Visibility., "O" is for Opportunity., "I" is for invigoration., "C" is for Celebration., "E" is for Empowerment.
