Great Falls Sports Foundation has breaking news to share with the Great Falls Community. The Foundation, formerly the Confero Sports Foundation, has changed its name to better reflect the mission and purpose of the organization. Secondly, the annual Mixer will have an added bonus this year with the addition of Speaker Bob Green, former football coach for Montana Tech University and well-known keynote speaker.
The primary goal of the Great Falls Sports Foundation is to assist in bringing major events to Great Falls and the surrounding area, providing significant economic impact to the City. Funds raised by the Great Falls Sports Foundation are used to ensure a long-term commitment to the major sports events held in Great Falls and to offer support to other potential events looking at our community as a destination. The Foundation’s fundraising efforts include the annual Great Falls Sports Foundation Mixer which provides the majority of funds for the Foundation.
Great Falls Sports Foundation is partnering with Great Falls Community Ice Foundation this year for the Foundation Mixer this upcoming April. The Ice Foundation will assist with raising funds and providing silent auction items in order to provide financial benefits for the Great Falls Ice Complex. The complex is used for figure skating, youth and adult hockey, public skating and other skating activities, events, and programs. It is also the home facility for the Great Falls Americans Hockey Team and the University of Providence Hockey Program as well as the host venue for large youth hockey tournaments, adult league hockey tournaments and figure skating competitions, all bringing economic impact to Great Falls. You can help by attending the Great Falls Sports Foundation Mixer:

“The Foundation is excited to concentrate their efforts with the Great Falls Community Ice Foundation to make a significant economic impact for the Great Falls community,” said Sports Foundation Chairman Roger Lesofski, “and we know attendees will enjoy speaker Bob Green along with the other Mixer highlights.”
The funds raised by the Great Falls Sports Foundation are used to ensure a long-term commitment to the major sports events held in Great Falls and to offer support to other potential sports events looking at our community as a destination. The total contributions from the Foundation equal over $455,000 providing financial support for major sporting events, attracting thousands of fans to Great Falls for 2 or 3 days, benefiting the community with entertainment and economic impact. The Foundation has traditionally underwritten divisional and state high school basketball tournaments in Great Falls, and has now expanded its efforts to support other sporting events and bringing new major events to Great Falls.
