About SameSide
SameSide was founded by brother and sister duo, David Legacki and Nicole àBeckett in Spring 2017 to empower people to participate in fun experiences alongside like-minded, new friends while taking political and social action on the issues that matter to you. Having heard countless friends say, “I want to do more but I don’t know how,” David and Nicole knew there had be a more accessible and exciting way to get others involved in and passionate about issues affecting them and their communities. By combining fun, social good experiences with education, impact and financial gain, SameSides cultivates community around worthy causes and moves the needle in sustained engagement and influencer exposure.
