About the Sports Event Travel Industry Giving Back: Sports Legacy Fund Like our member organizations, the NASC strives to make a positive impact on the community in which our events are held. Each year the NASC partners with the host city of the Sports Event Symposium to donate the proceeds from the Sports Legacy Fund to a worthy organization in the host community. The Sports Legacy Fund is a way for members of the sports tourism community to make a personal and lasting impact on the lives of youth in the host communities for the annual NASC Sports Event Symposium. Originally developed by the St. Petersburg/Clearwater Sports Commission as an equipment donation program, the Sports Legacy Fund enriches the lives of youth in host communities. Since its inception, the program has made sporting goods contributions and monetary donations to the youth sports communities in Lexington, Dallas, Omaha, Denver, Columbus, and Greensboro.
