ANNOUNCEMENT RE: Our event this Saturday

At its heart, the Gay Softball World Series is a platform to come together in common purpose and lift up LGBTQIA+ communities. In keeping with that commitment, GSWS Columbus 2026 will donate a portion of proceeds from our fundraising event Saturday, May 30, to benefit Brent Rayburn-Velco’s recovery fund. As many now know, Brent lost his husband, Mark, in a heinous attack this past weekend, and Brent himself is facing a long, difficult road to recovery.

Columbus rallies around our own. It’s who we are. So if you can, please join us this Saturday, May 30, at District West as we give back, celebrate incredible artists, and showcase what Columbus is all about.
