SUMMARY:Dignity Dash 5K benefiting Brave Space Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Brave Space Alliance’s Dignity Dash 5K fundraiser returns this year to make the statement that trans people have always been and will always be here; and we will not just survive\, but thrive. \nThis is more than a race — it’s a movement. \nJoin us in “Thriving Through the Finish Line.” \nThe Dignity Dash is not just about running\, it’s about being in community and showing up loud\, proud\, and exactly as we are. The Dash is about taking up space and refusing to allow our vibrant existence to be denied. This year\, BSA’s Dignity Dash is raising funds to stock our Dignity Suite with identity-affirming resources of all kinds\, including new binders and packers\, wigs and hair packs\, and gender-affirming surgery care packages. \nWe’re taking strides toward a future where trans people are supported beyond just being seen and building a world of Brave Spaces like ours. \nWe are committed to making this event accessible to everyone. If you require an accommodation or service to fully participate\, please contact: troyt@bravespacealliance.org
