BUILDING TOWARD MEASURABLE PROGRESS
Sports can create opportunity well beyond the game. These are the ambitions guiding our work in Cherokee County.
The figures below are aspirations, not verified results. Measured outcomes will be published when supporting data is available.
Our goal is to attract more than 75,000 new visitors to Cherokee County sporting events.
Track event attendance and distinguish visitors from local attendees, using event-level reporting where available.
Our goal is to generate more than $3 million in visitor spending across hotels, restaurants, retail, and other local businesses.
Report estimated spending with the method, assumptions, period, and available visitor data.
Our ambition is to support or contribute to more than 450 jobs and vendor opportunities through local sports activity.
Separate jobs from vendor opportunities and distinguish supported activity from new jobs directly created.
Our goal is to facilitate approximately $200,000 annually in sponsorship support for sports organizations and events.
Track confirmed sponsorship support directed to organizations and events, with a defined annual reporting period.
Our goal is to engage more than 500 local youth participants and support programs and events serving more than 1,000 children and students.
Track participants and programs served, and avoid double counting across events.
Have event data, a community partnership, or an opportunity that could help move these goals forward? We’d like to hear from you.
