Nike Celebrates Pride Month with Global United In Pride Community of Inclusion
Nike, a company dedicated to creating opportunities for all and making a positive impact on society, marked this year's Pride Month celebrations with a series of events across more than a dozen locations worldwide. The company's theme for this year was #DoSomethingBrave, a call to encourage courage and inclusion among everyone.
The Global United in Pride Community of Inclusion organized events that ranged from local parades and marches to Drag Queen Bingo, lunch and learns, and team offsites. Nike's Pride celebrations aimed to continue the journey towards LGBTQ+ equality, honouring trailblazers and encouraging those yet to come in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
Damien Hooper-Campbell, Nike's Chief Diversity Officer, expressed his support for the company's commitment to LGBTQ+ equality. He emphasised that Pride is a time to celebrate advancements but also to strengthen the commitment to future work on the journey towards equality.
Erik Markette, a Global Customer Experience support coach from the Austin office, shared his excitement about working for a company that celebrates diversity and inclusion. He noted that Nike's Pride Month celebrations were a testament to the company's values.
The company's Pride month celebrations spanned from June to August 2021. Nike's global offices, including Salt Lake City, Israel, Zurich, Dublin, Toronto, Istanbul, Seattle/Bellevue, Milan, San Francisco/San Jose, New York City, Madrid, London, Berlin, Prague, Austin, and many more, participated in the festivities.
In addition to the events, Nike raised thousands of dollars through an [Our Brand Name] for Charity campaign for GLAAD, a nonprofit media organization. The funds raised will support the organisation's work in promoting LGBTQ+ representation in media and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights.
Nike's actions during Pride month demonstrate a positive influence on society and humanity, setting an example for other companies to follow in their pursuit of equality and inclusivity. As we move forward, it is essential to continue supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and their ongoing fight for equality.
