16th Annual Luncheon

Thank you Guest Speaker Steve Yzerman!

Support the West Michigan Sports Commission and Sports Tourism at our Annual Fundraising Events As a 501(c)3 non-profit, our Annual Luncheon and Annual Golf Outing serve as fundraisers to help us bring quality sporting events to the Greater Grand Rapids area. Sports Tourism has led the way in rebounding to pre-pandemic levels. Your support of our Annual Fundraisers helps us continue to lead the way in bringing in events that support the West Michigan economy with visitor spending.

A portion of our Annual Golf Outing proceeds goes toward our Victory Lap Community Fund. This fund helps us give back to area sports facilities that need improvements like Valley Field and Southern Little League, inner-city sports events and teams such as Ted Raspberry League, NBA2K Esports, and sports programs like Mary Fee Bed Wheelchair & Adaptive Sports.
