The Okra Project
Okra Project 2026 Charity Event
Jan 7 - Feb 8, 2026
StartPlaying is excited to announce that for the month of January our charity event will be benefitting The Okra Project. The Okra Project is a mutual aid collective is focused on supporting Black Trans people and alleviating the barriers that their community faces. They envision a safe, abundant, and equitable life for Black Trans people across the United States. The okra plant has a rich history in the African diaspora, with our ancestors bringing it with them during the Middle Passage to sustain themselves and plant in the new world. Today, okra is often associated with health, prosperity, and community in Black cooking traditions. As such, The Okra Project represents the nourishment and sustenance that they seek to provide to Black Trans people through their mutual aid efforts. StartPlaying is waiving our standard 15% cut from bookings for all charity games, and we will match funds raised by all GMs up to $1000. Join us in supporting The Okra Project by participating in these charity games throughout January and February.
$470.00 raised. Let's get to $1,000.00!
