Get to know Riley Gaines

8/20/24

At this year’s Fall Dinner on September 16th, we are incredibly excited to welcome Riley Gaines as our keynote speaker, who rose to fame after tying with a biological male in the NCAA freestyle women’s championship in 2022. Since then, she has become a vocal advocate of women’s rights, especially in athletics, and has amassed over one million followers on X and hundreds of thousands of followers on other social media platforms. 

“It’s wild to me that I’ve now garnered over a million followers just on X alone for saying something that in the nearly 250 years we’ve been established as a country has never been controversial,” Riley noted. “But now, and in the world and the time that we live in, it is deemed controversial.

IFI is a strong proponent of protecting women’s sports in Indiana and we are looking forward to hearing Riley’s thoughts on how we can best support female athletes in our state and ensure women’s spaces are reserved for only biological women.
