Beyond Sport Community Chats - How can we help?
MARCH 2020
In these uncertain times, a feeling of community can be a powerful stabilizer. You have been our - and each other’s - inspiration when we have needed it the most, so with people feeling alone and facing unprecedented challenges, we want to be proactive in continuing community, collaboration and support for our network.
BEYOND SPORT COMMUNITY CHATS
Starting April 9, we will host a monthly chat series to provide a space for our global network to share the challenges and the issues they are facing, as well as ideas that can stimulate new thinking and solutions. We will be inviting funders, brands, NGOs, thought leaders, leagues, educational organizations and more to share, listen and learn as we navigate this time together.
Our first virtual chat will take place APRIL 9 at 9AM EDT. In order for us to ensure we’re focusing on the right areas, we are looking for your input. Please take this short 6 question survey to let us know the best way we can support the Beyond Sport community.
Each chat will be themed around a specific issue, feature one to two speakers and be followed by a Q&A session. Some sessions will directly address issues organizations are facing in the wake of COVID-19, such as fundraising, adapting programs to our current reality and continuity planning, while others will address the strategic and social issues sport can still play a role in solving. Please take our survey and we will be in touch with details for the April 9 chat.
If these past weeks and months have shown us anything, it is that we truly are in this together. What we do affects our neighbors and what they do affects us. So please stay safe and take care of yourself and those close to you. And, we want to hear from you, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
We can all use some good news, hope and laughter right now, so if you have a positive story or a trusted resource that could benefit others, please post it on social and tag us so that we can continue to share the #SameTeam spirt online!
