The challenges continue to grow for sports organizations as we head into the fall season. All the preparation and planning for high schools and colleges may be for naught as we observe the requirements of fighting COVID-19.

MLB baseball cancelled and delayed its first games. We hope that this is not an ominous sign for all of fall sports.

Many states have cancelled fall high school seasons, and colleges are cancelling or delaying their seasons. We see athletes contracting COVID and every sports organization is struggling to figure out how they will be able to implement their programs in the fall.

As we start getting closer to the fall sports season, the COVID issues are coming back into the spotlight. Fall seasons are being cancelled or delayed, athletes are contracting COVID and many organizations are struggling to figure out how they will be able to implement their programs in the fall.

On July 1st we hosted the Sports Philanthropy Town Hall on Racism, Tolerance and Reform. You can see the graphics for the panels and speakers who participated in our event. We had an overflow crowd necessitating a new technology platform and had participants from around the country and even outside of the United States.

This week we are releasing our comprehensive report which compiles all of the statements teams, leagues and other groups have made for about their efforts to condemn racism and their actions to combat racism.

As the spotlight intensifies on all of the racial unrest, we are hopeful that more organizations will be accountable for the steps that they have promised to take. Words, though not necessarily easy, are much easier than actions.
