The Massachusetts Amateur Sports Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the primary function of organizing the Bay State Summer and Winter Games. These programs attract more than 7,000 athletes from the state of Massachusetts, who compete in over 30 different sports. Summer Games begin with statewide tryouts in June and conclude with sports competitions held in Eastern and Central Massachusetts throughout July. The Bay State Winter Games are annually held in the Berkshire Region of Massachusetts and attract athletes in figure skating, ice hockey, and curling.

As the first sanctioned State Games of the Commonwealth, BSG operates with the mission of promoting personal development, education, physical fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship to Massachusetts citizens of all ages and abilities. Bay State Games has several funds available to support athletes in these mission items. This cannot be done without support from Bay State Games stakeholders, which include participants, parents, coaches, and officials, among others.

Adopt an Athlete Fund

For over 40 years, the Bay State Games has provided high quality and affordable athletic programming to more than 260,000 athletes across the state. We have worked hard to keep entry fees low for athletes and are thankful to our army of more than 1,000 volunteers who have made this possible for so many years. 

The Adopt an Athlete Fund was created to provide financial assistance to low income athletes and their families interested in competing in the Bay State Games. The goal is to cover the entry fee cost for individual and/or team sports so that disadvantaged athletes can compete in the Bay State Games. Each dollar donated will make an athlete’s dream of competing with the best-of-the-best in Massachusetts a reality. 

Contributions can be made as a single payment or as a recurring gift. Donations are accepted in any amount.
