Panel discussion about sport, community and making change. Silent auction items available featuring art by Coco Day.

The Manchester Lynx presents Roots of Resistance: the revolutionary power of community in sport. This panel discussion will explore how sport creates pockets of community and can impact people far beyond the court.

A silent auction will be held throughout the event, featuring art by Coco Day.

Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available to purchase.

All ticket and silent auction proceeds go towards supporting the Manchester Lynx to keep costs accessible to community members, and expand the range of opportunities available for FLINTA individuals to participate in basketball. To make donations beyond ticket purchases, please see our JustGiving page here.

The Manchester Lynx are a FLINTA (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, transgender, a-gender) basketball club founded in 2008 that welcomes members of all ages and skill levels. As well as being a long-standing team in the Manchester Area Basketball League, the club runs community sessions that are open to anyone. Our goal is to make basketball accessible to all, regardless of skill, income, background and identity.
