The Wisconsin Rapids Area Sports Commission (WRASC) provides a forum for leaders in the athletic community who are passionate about promoting our area as a sports destination! We strive to connect people and provide collaboration opportunities to achieve growth and success of our area sports organizations. Additionally, we seek to acquire new athletic events, capitalize on our valued recreational facilities and natural assets, and serve as a resource for those planning a sporting event. We are more than just a local information source, we are on your team when it comes to planning your best event ever!

 

Join the conversation! Participate in the WRASC by attending our next meeting on Tuesday, March 5th, 2024 at 5pm, in the Flex Room at Lincoln High School (1801 16th Street South, Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494).
