And a few honorable mentions:

In addition to the Thunderbird Tournament, our team hosted a great beer bust themed: anything but clothes. Swipe to see what that looks like 😉

Last week, in true Maggotfest fashion, our team photo got lost in the mountains while we officially ended our spring season playing in Montana. We won the first game, lost the second, and wrapped up Sunday with another win, along with winning “Best Team”

A huge thank you and big shout out to our sponsors for making this possible 💜

Hey mates,

Our friend designed these cool shirts if anyone would like one!!!

Stevie Lee is an independent creator who designed these shirts to support the organization “Transforming Families” in Minnesota supporting trans youth and their families.

Every purchase supports her efforts to contribute to this organization, while showing your support for your trans mates!

We will be distributing locally so people can pay less for shipping. (Twin Cities Area)

*Extra perk. If she sells 100 shirts, a private donor will donate an additional $200 dollars to Trans Lifeline.
