Academy Sports Outdoors 🤝 AJ McCarron For the 4th consecutive year, we worked with UFL’s St. Louis Battlehawks Quarterback and former Alabama Quarterback AJ McCarron to send 15 youth athletes on a $3,000 shopping spree ahead of his free football camp. 🏈🔥 AJ has hosted a free football camp every year for the past 9 years, which is open to children of all skill levels. We were proud to partner with AJ, several first responders and Mobile Cops 4 Kids to help support AJ’s mission and provide FUN for ALL! #HaveFunOutThere #FunForAll #PositiveImpact

It’s Pride Month! 🌈 At Academy Sports Outdoors, we champion diversity. We’re happy to have an LGBTQ & Allies Team Member Resource Group (TRG) to provide a safe space in which all can feel supported and accepted. We asked Dee Boyd of our Katy Distribution Center what stereotype she thinks is important to break and educate about the LGBTQ community? “The stereotype that LGBTQ people don’t live “normal” lives or maintain long-term relationships. My spouse and I will celebrate our 33-year anniversary this December. While I believe normal is a very subjective word, the life we live is pretty average.” Read more from Dee below. ⤵️ #FunForAll #HaveFunOutThere #HappyPride
