Founded in 2016, the Chicago Sports Summit brings together several prominent politicians, business leaders and celebrities to discuss sports topics that impact the city of Chicago.
This year’s panels include:

- The Business of Sports Marketing: How the world?s largest and most recognizable brands leverage sports marketing to grow their business.
- The Science Behind Sports: The latest advances and how they play a role in endurance, performance, injury prevention, and recovery for athletes.
The Sports Summit Foundation was formed as a continuation of a successful event held in 2016 called the Chicago Sports Summit. Part of the events promotion was that all net proceeds after direct expenses would be donated to a charity. At the conclusion of the event, over $30,000 was raised for After School Matters. After School Matters is a public charity that provides educational and recreational programs for Chicago area teenagers. The Foundation plans to continue it’s partnership with that organization and those similar for future contributions from the event.
This event attracted a wide range of sponsors and patrons to listen to a panel of professional sports executives, physicians, players and coaches who discussed both the business component of their sport as well as prevention and care of sports injuries. In addition to funding programs for youth education, The Sports Summit Foundation intends to also contribute toward non-profit research activity surrounding Orthopaedic care.
Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush is the main sponsor of this entity and we hope to add to our existing partners in future years as we award more donations and fulfill our mission.
