WELCOME ON JANUARY 11-14, 2018 THE GREATER LOS ANGELES SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION (GLASA) WILL CELEBRATE AND HOST ITS 11TH ANNUAL SIN CITY CLASSIC SPORTS FESTIVAL IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. GLASA is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization that encourages and hosts the participation of LGBT individuals and their allies in organized sporting competitions. Our event began as the Sin City Shootout in 2008 as a softball tournament, but over the years the tournament has grown to 200 participating softball teams as well as the addition of 17 additional sports from around the nation. As GLASA proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2018, we are renaming the event the Sin City Classic. We are working toward making the 2018 event the best ever experience for the athletes who participate. Athletes, fans, and families come together to compete in Billiards, Body Building, Bowling, Bridge, Cheer, Diving, Dodgeball, Flag Football, Frisbee, Golf, Ice Hockey, Kickball, Running, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, Volleyball, Wrestle & Grapple competitions that span across the city. With two main host hotels and one centralized activation space, it is the perfect environment to join as a Corporate Sponsor with this captive audience and their peers. We offer all of our supporting brands maximum exposure through a variety of mediums and have outlined some of the amazing benefits of sponsoring this year s event.
