ACASC Games Commission Event Support Outreach
Do you have a passion for supporting and mentoring sports chiropractors and chiropractic students on the sidelines, at the race finish line, ringside, or any of the numerous other places you find yourself while supporting athletes?
Recruit ACASC Members to help!
If you need additional support at local events, help with a tournament that’s beyond your resources, or have an organization that has events occurring where you can’t cover, please reach out to the ACASC. We are here to support growing doctors and students, and support established sports chiropractors as they fulfill their passion. The ACASC cannot guarantee we will be able to provide assistance to providers, but we will do our best to provide the support that you need.
Reach out to President@acasc.org or fill out the Event Application link below!
Once the ACASC has additional events on the calendar, we will do specific outreach to establish a pool of members who can work those events.
