How it works
We hand-painted ten one-of-a-kind Little Leslies, each with its own squad number, one through ten. Win one and you pick your kit, the Pride Kit or the Austin Kit, and you take home an official League of Little Leslies player card to go with it. Every dollar honors Leslie Cochran, Pride Month, and the wonderfully weird spirit that makes Austin Austin.

Who's behind it
The League of Little Leslies is run hand in hand with The Austin Anthem and the MLS in Austin Supporters Group, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, alongside The Fighting Leslies Drinking Club. Because the Anthem carries the nonprofit status, the official raffle and webstore live on their page, linked above. All proceeds go to Equality Texas, who work every day to secure equality for LGBTQIA+ Texans through education, political action, community organizing, and collaboration.
Where the money has gone
Local organizations we believe in and have raised funds and awareness for, one campaign at a time.
HOME was formed by a group of concerned women in Austin, Texas, to provide financial housing assistance for aging musicians in need. All proceeds from The Addison Squared Jersey went directly to HOME. The first round of sales raised $1,500.
TOOF was born out of a desire to find new approaches to serving Austin's homeless community, offering humanitarian aid, case management, and low-barrier employment since 2018. All proceeds from The Spread Verde scarf and fans campaigns went directly to TOOF.
A 51-acre master-planned development providing affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for men and women coming out of chronic homelessness. Thanks to your help we donated $3,000 directly to Community First! Village in honor of Austin legend Leslie Cochran.
Equality Texas envisions a Texas where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Texans and their families have full equality in the hearts and minds of our fellow Texans and in all areas of the law. 100% of raffle ticket proceeds will be donated to Equality Texas in honor of Leslie Cochran and Austin Pride Month 2026.
Our first foray into supporting local organizations was a donation drive for The Laundry Project. We loved teaming up with Brad "Stonewall" Stuver and Current Initiatives so much we've made it an annual thing. The Laundry Project assists lower-income families with a basic need, washing clothes and linens, by turning laundromats into community centers of hope. This past year we helped fund the Butler Pitch and Putt event, and we look forward to continuing our involvement with The Stuvers and The Laundry Project.
The Fighting Leslies are proud to have been silver sponsors two years in a row at an annual fundraising event for Explore Austin. Explore Austin empowers youth through adventure, a 100% free, six-year program serving youth from economically disadvantaged communities. Explorers begin in the sixth grade and volunteer Mentors stay with them through high school graduation and beyond, into their adult lives.
