Around Coming Out Day 2019, Dutch athletes will once again wear rainbow armbands en masse to support the message of sport for everyone. But this year, the All Together Challenge goes further:

Starting this year, everyone who participates will become a Member of the All Together Challenge. Membership costs fifteen euros. The proceeds will go to the partners of All Together Challenge. In exchange, participants can call themselves Members for a year, receive a rainbow band, and are also invited to participate in exclusive All Together Challenge Incentives every month. These Incentives are selected and organised in close collaboration with at least ten sports associations. Examples include:

• Tickets for a sporting event or other event
• Participation in a clinic
• Meet and Greet
• Signed merchandise items
• Access to the Dutch Sport Boat (Canal Parade)
• Workshops organised by the John Blankenstein Foundation

There are a limited number of places available for each Incentive. The aim of this Membership scheme is to activate the community, connect its members and their
increase engagement with the theme. Everything to create more leaders within the theme of equality in sport.
Sports associations have the opportunity to participate in the following ways:;

1. Around Coming Out Day 2019 (4–20 October), the rainbow armband will be worn at the top level of sport. SportsGen is making these rainbow armbands available free of charge.

2. The sports association reserves a certain number of rainbow armbands to distribute among its own members. If desired, the application and shipping process can be coordinated by SportsGen. The association can purchase the rainbow armbands at a reduced rate.

3. Each sports association contributes one or more Incentives that can be offered to the Members of the All Together Challenge. SportsGen contributes ideas and possibilities for this where necessary.

4. The sports association will communicate the details of the All Together Challenge 2019 to its own members via its own online channels (website, social media and newsletter). SportsGen will provide press releases and other content. As last year, the rainbow ribbon can be requested via alltogetherchallenge.co.uk or rainbowband.nl.
