Play It Forward

Play It Forward Any way that we can help get people into the game and make it more inclusive is where the heart of this project lies.

The donation of used gear, money to the GoFundMe page, and the use of community outreach are a few ways we hope to achieve this goal. https://www.gofundme.com/f/bipoc-hockey-donations?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf%20share-flow-1&fbclid=IwAR1YWzgOVC_UR86KOueOSAppOibZP_etwoLxXQt1hW5LFFWPoz1Uv16CPW8

Hey Everyone,

Long time no post how have you been? Staying safe and warm? We hope so! We’re just popping in to say we’ll be at the Minnesota Wild game *tonight* through the second period with a table, just like last year! It is the Wild’s Black History celebration game and we have been invited to have a table that will look much like the photo below except our lovely faces will be greeting you! We look forward to making connections and as always let us know if there’s anyone you know of that we can help out 🙂

All The Best,

UPCOMING EVENT!

Hello everyone! We have another open skate coming up this Sunday, July 24th at Centennial Sports Arena. Gear will be laid out at 10am and the open skate begins at 12pm and lasts until 1pm. We hope you are able to make it over to the rink and see the gear we have to offer and can come to try some of it out during the open skate.

UPCOMING EVENT!

Hey everyone! On May 22nd, we’ll be hosting our Hockey Is For Everyone event. We will be tabling/making all of our gear available for folks to look through, try on, and take if they like. The event will also include an hour of ice time, allowing folks to test out their gear and learn to skate!

We were interviewed by North Metro TV and were able to plug this event there too!

* A flyer for the event will be in the comments

Please spread the word with people you think might be interested 🏒

BIPOC Play it Forward encourages anyone with unused hockey gear to donate, and coming up on May 21, that gear will be distributed at a Hockey is For Everyone Event.

Hey everyone!

If you get the Quad Press paper, you may have seen us in the Sports section! We were interviewed to discuss why we started doing this work, what we've been up to, and got to highlight the fact that we've got some events coming up this summer.

Because we were in the paper, we had someone from North Metro TV reach out with the interest of interviewing us as well. We will be getting some footage taken of us and the gear, all while being able to walk through our journey and where we hope to go in the future. So stay tuned again!

Hi Everyone,

We’re excited share that our community outreach continues to grow and as a result, the Quad Press has approached us for an interview to discuss the organization’s resources and goals for the community. Please keep an eye out for this in the upcoming weeks 👀. Additionally we have some open skate events on the horizon in late Spring/Summer…We are so grateful for your support and as always feel free to reach out to our email ([email protected]) with any inquiries.

Sincerely,

The BIPOC PIF Team

Hey everyone!

We just wanted to post an exciting update! This past Friday, we had the opportunity to table at the Wild’s Black History Month celebration game thanks to our friends at Hockey Niñas . This event allowed us to spread our message, hand out business cards and flyers, and talk to the larger Minnesota Hockey community.

Keep your eyes peeled for future events!

Quick update,

For those who accessed our new site yesterday, we made a quick fix to the gear page. The buttons led back to the homepage, instead of the gear subpages, which is fixed now.

So go check out the new site (that is working as it should)!

Hey folks,

We recently made a few changes to our website to make it cleaner and easier to use, so go check it out!

Feel free to share with folks and spread the word because we are still taking donations!

Hey guys,

Our update today is mostly administrative, but we wanted to share regardless. We have been busy reaching out to people working in 501C-3s to learn more about the process of registering our organization as a non-profit. A few folks have been generous enough to make themselves available for meetings that will hopefully happen in the coming days or weeks.

That being said, if you or someone you know might have some helpful information about how to set up a 501C-3 non-profit, please do not hesitate to reach out / share our contact info because we would be beyond appreciative.

(We are still taking gear/monetary donations as well)

Thank you!
