About this Event
This isn’t just a pitch. It’s a battle for legacy.
On October 8th, Lex and Goddess Protect Studio (GPS) step onto the stage at the Philadelphia Youth Basketball Pitch Competition, where only four youth businesses will survive the elevator pitch round for a chance at $10,000 in funding.
GPS exists to immortalize the everyday grind of athletes and creatives through mythic storytelling because too many stories die in the dark. This night, we fight for them to be seen.
Show up in your sports gear, rep your team, and witness the next chapter of Philly’s creative renaissance.
Free to attend. RSVP. Arrive early to secure parking. Lot fills quick. Doors open at 5. Don’t be the one circling the block.
If you can’t make it, you can still support: select the “Fuel the Movement: Keep Athletes Visible” donation ticket to help GPS keep overlooked stories alive.
