Description:
The Tacoma-Pierce County Sports Commission is a non-profit organization that markets Tacoma-Pierce County as a destination to host regional, national, and international sporting events. By providing assistance and support services to sports organizations looking to host an event, we help drive sports as a positive impact to our regional economy.

The Sports Commission works with local, regional, and national clubs and organizations to bring amateur athletic events to our area. By marketing Tacoma-Pierce County as a positive community to host an event, we are able to bid for events that will bring in tourism and positive exposure of the region. These events draw athletes and spectators from all over the country.

Once an event is in the works, we assist in promoting and facilitating the event. Through local event, we help maximize the use of our sporting facilities, which ensure they are kept in working condition. This increases social benefit as more facilities are able to be used by the region for recreational purposes, which in turn encourages community involvement in sports.

The Sports Commission aims to promote awareness, interest, and appreciation for the local sports community, encouraging youths and adults to become involved as spectators and participants. We understand the economic and cultural importance of sports in our community and hope to make it a positive impact in Tacoma-Pierce County.
