The Maryland Sports Commission is thrilled with the commitment of our non-profit arm, the Sport & Entertainment Corporation of Maryland, for the creation of the In The Community 2024 series with Kaiser Permanente, to continue the commitment to the children and communities in and around Baltimore City and Baltimore County following the unfortunate postponement of the Maryland Cycling Classic in 2024. While our sights remain set on a return in 2025, we can’t help but relish the incredible memories made over this past week, and the steadfast resolve we continue to see in Baltimoreans - and Marylanders - who live up to the creed that is: “Maryland Tough/ Baltimore Strong”. #TEAMMaryland #MDSportsTourism #MarylandToughBaltimoreStrong

"From an office in the Camden Yard Warehouse, Terry Hasseltine and his team are perched atop premier portfolio assets of two professional sports stadiums. But the reach of the Maryland Sports Commission and its nonprofit arm stretch beyond sporting events and those properties. Working with partners, the commission helps to bring large entertainment events that serve Maryland’s economy, from the shore to the mountains. And in the process, the agency establishes legacy programs that help kids on and off the field." Maryland Sports Commission Executive Director Terry Hasseltine, STS sits down for a one-on-one chat with the Baltimore Business Journal. #MDSportsTourism #TEAMMaryland
