麻豆AV

It鈥檚 another busy weekend for 麻豆AV sports! Here鈥檚 what鈥檚 on the go:

UBCO Heat

The UBCO Heat volleyball teams are in action at the Furnace (UBCO Gymnasium) as they host their second annual Pride night on Friday.

鈥淭he event, which is being supported by UBC鈥檚 Equity Enhancement Fund, will feature a night of celebration and fundraising to support Etcetera, a 2SLGBTQIA+ youth group in 麻豆AV whose mission is to bring queer youth together in an intersectional, dynamic, and supportive space,鈥� UBCO said in a release.

On top of fundraising initiatives, Heat pride t-shirts will be available for $20. There will also be a raffle and a paper plane contest. Heat sponsor, Lululemon, will also be at the game with a pride-themed 360-degree camera for fans. They also are provided the prize packages for the raffle and paper plane contests.

The men鈥檚 team plays at 5 p.m. while the women play at 7 p.m. against the MacEwen Griffins. Both teams need wins on the weekend to have a chance at the playoffs.

After the games, there will be a performance by drag queen Freida Whales.
