Flavor Flav is an icon in the music industry, but he has also long been a champion for women’s sport. His latest action is a testament to that statement, and he has launched a GoFundMe to encourage fans to support the Team USA women’s hockey team after they won gold at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics.
Flavor Flav Champions Women’s Olympic Hockey Team
GettyFlav wants the female athletes to be celebrated. He will be hosting the She Got Game weekend in Las Vegas from July 16 to July 19. To raise funds, he launched a GoFundMe campaign, asking fans for $130,000. The description on the page reads, “After the United States women’s Olympic hockey team won gold at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Flav took to social media to offer something he called a ‘real celebration’ in Las Vegas. He personally invited the players to dinners, shows, and events to honor their accomplishment in a big way.”
The funds “will go directly to the invited female athletes and support the She Got Game weekend. Your generosity will ensure these athletes are properly celebrated in Las Vegas and receive meaningful financial support for their futures,” the GoFundMe page reads. At present, over $92,000 has been raised in two days, and it looks as though the fund will reach its goal.

Flav also shared the GoFundMe on X on February 26. “Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations. So I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US,” he wrote. The post allowed fans to react, and many responded with supportive comments.
