Wizards Of The Coast Announces New Pride Merch To Benefit The Trevor Project

Share This Post

Wizards of the Coast is proud to celebrate Pride Month and support the LGBTQIA+ community through sales of Pride-themed Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering products.

Some proceeds from the sales of these products will be donated to The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ young people. The donation is part of a continued commitment of support by Wizards of the Coast.

Throughout the month of June, fans of D&D and MTG will be able to purchase shirts and hoodies with Pride-themed logos of the popular tabletop games at https://mtgproshop.com/pride.

In addition, a Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair art playmat featuring the Bearscape card art from the 2022 Let Your Spark Shine Secret Lair set and illustrated by Ricardo Bessa, an LGBTQIA+ artist, will be available.

Players and fans of D&D Beyond will be able to show their support to the LGBTQIA+ community with digital Dice of True Colors. Created by Lee Emig, this digital dice set, which will be offered to all account holders, was hewn from geodes formed under intense heat and pressure. Inside, you will find gleaming colors.

A MTG mana Pride pin from 2020 is also available at https://mtgproshop.com/pride, featuring the five mana symbols surrounding the familiar Planeswalker symbol with a rainbow of colors behind it. All products will be available until June 30, 2023, and are in conjunction with ULTRAPRO/MTGPROSHOP.

Wizards has been producing Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering clothing, MTG charitable cards, and Arena charitable digital items since 2019 and contributing to charitable campaigns for Extra Life, Black Girls CODE, and the World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts. We have joined The Trevor Project’s Every Single One campaign, an effort to raise critical funds and awareness with a goal of ending suicide among LGBTQ young people.

In the U.S., more than 1.8 million LGBTQ young people seriously consider suicide each year. The Trevor Project’s 24/7 phone, text, and chat mental health services provide lifesaving and life-affirming support and crisis counseling to LGBTQ young people who are struggling.

Wizards has been a proud partner with The Trevor Project since 2019 to make sure every LGBTQ young person feels loved and valued. Learn more at https://www.thetrevorproject.org/every-single-one/.
