The Grand Junction High Desert Classic would not be possible without the help from our partners at The Greater Grand Junction Sports Commission.
The Greater Grand Junction Sports Commission is a nonprofit agency with the mission of representing the Grand Junction area in attracting new sports, enhancing existing sports and delivering customer service-driven events that positively impact our economy and community.
The organization is a collaborative effort between Colorado Mesa University, the City of Grand Junction, Mesa County, the City of Fruita and the Town of Palisade.
The GGJSC serves as an advocate to local amateur, collegiate and professional sports organizations because we understand the cultural importance of sports in our community.
