Protect The Teams
This Holiday Season

As we reflect on this difficult year for our country and our industry, we recognize the millions of lives forever impacted by Covid-19. During this critical time over the holidays, we ask our members and our network to remember that this fight is not over.

The Green Sports Alliance has partnered with the University of Washington Alliance for Pandemic Preparedness to provide a friendly reminder that we can't throw in the towel yet. We developed a simple PSA for how we can all be MVP’s in the battle against this virus.

Although this information should not be new, it continues to be critical guidance from the world’s top public health officials. Please share this poster or similar reminders with your audiences to help us stop the spread.

We are filled with hope and optimism that brighter days are ahead, both for sports and for our communities around the world. We thank our members and everyone working in this industry for another year of inspiration and for paving the way for a better future. But for now, we must all do our part to protect our teams until the final whistle is blown.
