Rapper and television personality Flavor Flav has taken on a new role as a benefactor for the U.S. women's hockey team, pledging to fund their travel, glam and wardrobe for the upcoming ESPY Awards.
A Sweet Gesture for Women's Hockey
The ESPY Awards traditionally allot a limited number of tickets to each sport, often leaving many athletes without a seat; Flav's initiative aims to fill that gap by covering the costs for the entire squad.
His involvement follows the recent She Got Weekend celebration, a three‑day showcase for elite female athletes that he organized in Las Vegas from July 16 to 19, highlighting the growing visibility of women in sport.
In a call to action, Flav has reached out to brands and corporations, inviting them to join the effort and help secure the team's presence on the red carpet and the stage.
The ESPY ceremony will be broadcast live on July 15 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC, giving the team a national platform to shine.
