It’s Pride Month! 🌈 At Academy Sports + Outdoors, we champion diversity. We’re happy to have an LGBTQ+ & Allies Team Member Resource Group (TRG) to provide a safe space in which all can feel supported and accepted. We asked Dee Boyd of our Katy Distribution Center what stereotype she thinks is important to break and educate about the LGBTQ+ community? “The stereotype that LGBTQ+ people don’t live “normal” lives or maintain long-term relationships. My spouse and I will celebrate our 33-year anniversary this December. While I believe normal is a very subjective word, the life we live is pretty average.” Read more from Dee below. ⤵️ #FunForAll #HaveFunOutThere #HappyPride

Our recent giveback in Atlanta, GA was a slam dunk! 🙌🏀🎊 For the second year in a row, we teamed up with basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and Sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett to surprise 20 children from The Shaquille O’Neal Boys & Girls Club of Henry County and the Henry County Sheriff’s Foundation with a $5,000 shopping spree! The fun didn’t stop there! Shaq bought bikes for kids who made a free throw in our store! 🏀🏀🏀 We are proud to partner with Shaq and help support his vision to give hope and opportunity to kids while creating pathways to success like the Boys & Girls Club did for him when he was young. #HaveFunOutThere #PositiveImpact #Shaq

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures who have been helping us #HaveFunOutThere since day one! 👨👧👦💖In honor of Dad’s Day, we donated $16,500 to fathers in some of our local communities. Some events included surprise shopping sprees in El Paso, TX, where we teamed up with Fort Bliss to surprise military dads and their families and in Houston, TX with the Houston Astros Youth Academy to recognize ten dads for their dedication to coaching their kids. Special thanks to Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX, Mecklenburg County Council of Scouting in Charlotte, NC, the Houston Astros Youth Academy in Houston, TX, and Anthem Strong Families ASF in Dallas, TX. We greatly appreciate the Team Members who helped create these memorable moments for fathers and their kids. #FathersDay #Givebacks #PositiveImpact
