About the Sports Event Travel Industry Giving Back: Sports Legacy Program Like our member organizations, the NASC strives to make a positive impact on the community in which our events are held. Since 2009, the NASC has partnered with the host city of the annual Sports Event Symposium to donate the proceeds raised from the annual NASC Silent Auction to a worthy organization in the host community. The Sports Legacy Program 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. Created by the St. Petersburg/ Clearwater Sports Commission in 2005, the equipment donation program enriches the lives of youth in host communities. Since its inception, the program has made sporting goods contributions to the youth sports communities in Lexington, Dallas, Omaha, Denver, Columbus, and Greensboro. Beginning in 2012, one organization in the host community will be selected to receive proceeds of the annual silent auction and all equipment donations.
