Okay so with everything going on w vegas etc Ive seen some people who have donated to the Sidney Crosby foundation and included a heartfelt message about how they are concerned about hockey culture. Just wanted to share some tips if anyone else wants to do it too:
- keep it heartfelt and appreciative of sid being sid
- bring up concerns but maybe dont name carter hart and vegas straight up
-bring up the fact that you wanted to support the foundation because you believe he works to create a softer world for kids and wanted to reach out to a space in this culture that actually cares
- bring up the toxic culture of normalizing SA, racism and even income issues. Don’t sound attacking but frame it softer that you want to make a difference when the world might feel hopeless rn on these
(The reason why I’m putting in the framing of things is because we want this to feel like actual concern for these matters and not like an attack that Sid is personally in charge of)
- it can even be just a thank you on him supporting marginalized inclusion, education equality for autistic people and black people, support of food relief, support of queer ppl during these sad times for trans folk…just yeah
Here’s some tips on how to help! HRPF blogs feel free to repost to boost but no pressure!
