The Neutral present: Transitional Combat
PROMO CODE: BLACKTRANSLIVESMATTER for free $0.50 donations! MAKE SURE TO USE SPONSOR QUESTS AS WELL! THEY DONATE TO THE PRIZE POOL FREE!
Transitional Combat is a Street Fighter V charity tournament to raise money for Trans Lifeline. Trans Lifeline is a non-profit charity that serves the Trans community in the US and Canada on two fronts.
Firstly, they operate the only peer hotline that is fully staffed by other Trans folx. This is extremely valuable because when you are calling for peer support - whether it be because you are in crisis or just need a friendly voice - you want someone who is not only trained to support you but has similar lived experiences as you so they can be truly empathetic and present on the line with you. Another important point is that Trans Lifeline does not do “wellness checks.”
Secondly, Trans Lifeline operates a microgrant program that offsets the cost of the document change process for Trans individuals. In the United States, the cost of having one’s documents updated can be extremely high. With their microgrant program, Trans Lifeline is able to help a handful of people throughout the year have their documents changed without any cost to the recipient.
In honor of Pride month, The Neutral wants to do its part in helping Trans Lifeline. Afterall, the Pride started with a riot started by Trans women of color. So, what better way to celebrate Pride than by uplifting a Trans charity. Our goal is to raise $1000 for Trans Life.
Check-in on tournament day is done in both Challonge & in the Discord via your @tournament organizer. Please refer to the Challonge for start time.
