The Cleveland Power of Sport Summit Series celebrated diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) by demonstrating the power of sport as a catalyst for change.

This event series took place within the year leading up to the 2024 NCAA Women's Final Four at various locations throughout the community. Each program showcased local and national organizations that utilize their voices to address topics related to adaptive sports, gender equity, LGBTQIA+ athlete advocacy, mental health, racial equity, and more.
