Greater Cleveland Sports Commission
The Greater Cleveland Sports Commission (GCSC) and Destination Cleveland (DC) are dedicated to
measurably improving the economy
and
enhancing the community
by attracting, creating, managing and enhancing significant events. They support the local economy, using sports as a vehicle to forward community agendas and maintain a goal of
producing events that are more successful when held in Cleveland than in other cities . GCSC is a strategic partner with Destination Cleveland, the region’s convention & visitors bureau.
