Getting to Cologne... a little money helps

It's great to have a generous donor... but nothing beats good old-fashioned fundraising. Let's give thanks to these angels, and to the hundreds of volunteers who make it possible for teams from around the world to participate in the Gay Games.

In Philadelphia:

Thanks to a donation from a longtime member of the City of Brotherly Love Softball League, the local LGBT softball association is in the process of organizing a team to send to the 2010 Gay Games in Germany, July 31-Aug. 7.

Jeff Sotland, CBLSL commissioner, said an anonymous donor gave the organization $10,000 last month to be used for sending a contingent to next summer’s event in Cologne. The Gay Games, held every four years, is the largest LGBT sporting event in the world, bringing together LGBT and ally athletes from around the globe to compete for the top titles in myriad sports.

[...]CBLSL has reached out to players and supporters for donations and has so far accumulated another $5,000.
