Promoting Kansas City Through Sports

By promoting Kansas City sports locally and nationally, and by working behind the scenes to attract, retain and facilitate sports events and organizations here, the Kansas City Sports Commission is helping our bi-state region realize the economic, social and community-building benefits of sports. As a privately funded nonprofit, we are entirely dependent on your support.



Since its beginning in 1966, the Sports Commission has worked to promote sports and recreation at every level. Since 1990, the organization has helped generate in excess of $600 million in estimated economic impact on the surrounding metropolitan area. The Commission sponsors more than 25 annual events including youth clinics, annual community and membership luncheons and community-sponsored athletic events.
