Powers says the goal through Sport A Rainbow is to promote inclusion for all– inside and outside of the game.
“A lot of fans have came up to me tonight to make sure that I know that they see me, they see what the pledge is, they see what I’m trying to do and they are in support of it,” continued Powers. “I couldn’t be more proud.”
8 year old Ella, Sport A Rainbow’s youth ambassador, says she took the pledge after Powers came to talk to her hockey team.
“When people take the pledge, you’re making the promise to include people and stand up for what is right to make the world a better place,” she said.
