Your Return on Investment

The Keystone State Games was created as a result of a resolution by Representative Joseph R. Pitts (Chester County) and approved by the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1980.  Keystone State Games Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, was formed in 1983 with the help of former Governor Richard Thornburgh so the Games would not be solely dependent on government funding.

The mission of the Keystone State Games is to promote physical fitness and sports activity as a health improvement and disease prevention strategy for all Pennsylvanians and to create an expanded, coordinated and citizen-sponsored program of physical fitness and amateur athletic competition.

Staffed by an experienced, professional sports management team, KSG saw an opportunity to provide a larger economic benefit to Pennsylvania by hosting and managing other spectator sporting events, beyond The Summer Games, that would capture the lucrative sports tourist niche market.  These events include the PA Figure Skating Championship, Indoor Field Hockey Championship, Winter Indoor Soccer Tournament, Wilkes Open Wrestling Tournament, High School Wrestling Invitational, Male Lacrosse Championships, Gymnastics Championship, Cheerleading Championship, The Senior Games, and Shape Up PA Fitness Challenge.

Our staff plans and organizes every event and program to ensure that your financial contributions return the highest possible value to you, the athletes and the general public. We will work with you to maximize your sponsorship dollars through strategies that achieve your goals, connect you effectively with potential customers and strengthen your relationship with existing customers.

By becoming corporate sponsors, businesses and organizations align themselves with a statewide organization with a history and reputation of quality.
