A busy week on the sports philanthropy front as we saw events from Sow Good Now, the Allan Sack National Symposium and the Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame Dinner.
Every week there are outstanding events from organizations in our network. We encourage you to check out the upcoming event calendar to make sure that you are up-to-date on these opportunities.
Have a great week!

The Kansas City Chapter Steering Committee hosted its first call on April 13th as it looks to commence programming during May and launch a kickoff event in conjunction with Sporting KC.
Sporty made its debut at the Women’s Final Four in Minneapolis. Amazing effort by the city to host the games before sellout crowds, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Convention and the Fan Fest at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The city did such a great job hosting that the Big Ten has decided to host future tournaments there.
