Riley Gaines to Deliver Keynote Address at Inaugural "Savior Summit"

Former collegiate swimmer gained fame for publicly opposing trans athletes in women's sports

Mequon, Wis. – Riley Gaines, a former All-American collegiate swimmer spotlighted for her public opposition to trans athletes competing in women’s sports, will deliver a keynote address July 25 at the inaugural Savior Summit, a multi-day event hosted by C-Suite for Christ.

Gaines, who swam at the University of Kentucky, rocketed to fame when she spoke out after competing head-to-head against a biological male in the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships. In addition, she detailed the “extreme discomfort” female athletes experienced having to share a locker room with the man, who “identified” as a woman.

Gaines’s address will be part of the first-ever Savior Summit, July 23-25 at Concordia University, 12800 N. Lake Shore Drive. The event offers a rich agenda of fellowship, worship and Christian professional development. Tickets are on sale for the entire three-day summit, or just to hear Gaines’s presentation (in person or virtual). VIP tickets, which include a meet-and-greet with Gaines, are available.
