WRASC AWARDS
Each year, the Wisconsin Rapids Area Sports Commission (WRASC) acknowledges individuals that demonstrate commitment, creativity, and dynamic energy toward the growth of the sports industry and sports tourism in our community. The purpose of the awards celebration is to highlight the impact of sports on our community and economy and increase awareness of local athletic resources.
