    2017 Annual Report 155 W. Nationwide Blvd., Ste. 125 Columbus, OH 43215 614-221-6060 CELEBRATING 15 YEARS WITH YOU Dear Partners, In 2017, the Greater Columbus Sports Commission celebrates its 15th anniversary. We are proud of the leadership role we have played as our sports scene has grown and prospered over this timeframe, with the future promising to be even brighter. Columbus has become a successful and ever-growing sports destination because of the continued support and engagement of our community. Thanks to the collaborative spirit of our city and county leaders, civic and hospitality partners, community-minded corporations, sports teams and institutions, as well as the cadre of boots-on-the-ground volunteers, the events we host are nothing short of spectacular. The entire nation is watching when we land NCAA national events like the upcoming Women’s Final Four in 2018 or host high-profile professional events like the NHL All-Star Game, the MLS Cup or the MiLB Triple-A Governors’ Cup. The entire world is watching when we welcome prestigious international events like The Presidents Cup, a FIFA World Cup Qualifier or the Arnold Sports Festival. Annually, crowds flock to the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide, the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon & ½ Marathon, the OhioHealth Capital City Half Marathon, the 20 OHSAA State Championships and hundreds of amateur tournaments like Ohio Valley Region volleyball. It’s clear, since the founding of the Greater Columbus Sports Commission in 2002, Columbus has grown into a sports city with no offseason! We appreciate the unwavering support we receive from the City of Columbus, Franklin County and the State of Ohio, along with that of our board of directors and corporate partners who invest in our mission.
