"There needs to be more trust and collaboration among the public, private and civic sectors...we have major opportunities in front of us and we can’t blow ‘em." – David Gilbert

Over the next several years, Cleveland will be host to several major sporting events including the MLB All-Star Game, NFL Draft, NBA All-Star Game, and the NCAA Women’s Final Four. In addition to these events having an incredible economic impact and providing an opportunity to showcase Cleveland’s redevelopment to the world, these events have added community benefits.

From constructing new fields to youth program involvement to engaging new populations, there's so much more than meets the eye when Cleveland hosts major sporting events. It also provides an opportunity to address important community agendas.

Join us as we conclude All-Star Week with a discussion on maximizing the community benefit of hosting major sporting events.

Velocity is a community-wide initiative of Greater Cleveland Sports Commission to raise required funding and maximize the community impact of hosting some of the most significant events in sports.
