NCAS FAQ
WHAT is NCAS?
North Carolina Amateur Sports (NCAS) is a non-profit organization established in 1983 to host the first sanctioned State Games of North Carolina in 1986 and the U.S. Olympic Festival-’87. Today, it operates with the goal of promoting the Olympic movement, physical fitness and health to North Carolinians of all ages and skill levels through amateur sports by: producing the State Games of North Carolina and Cycle North Carolina annually; attracting national and international events and conferences to North Carolina; assisting other amateur sporting events in our state; and increasing public awareness of the Olympic Movement and amateur sports in North Carolina.
NCAS receives financial support for the State Games from corporate sponsors and individual members.
HOW does NCAS support amateur athletics?
Other than hosting State Games, NCAS aids amateur athletics through its Endowment Fund. Established with the Triangle Community Foundation by the Board of Directors in February 1988 with a contribution from profits of the U.S. Olympic Festival-’87, the NCAS Endowment Fund has distributed over $500,000 to organizations and individuals. The Endowment Fund is designed to assist non-profit organizations that promote and encourage amateur athletics, individuals training for the Olympic Games or elite-level competitions, and other programs pursuing the Olympic ideal as approved by a distribution committee consisting of members from the NCAS Board of Directors.
Two North Carolina athletes supported by the Endowment Fund – Curt Clausen and Kendall Cross – competed in the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympic Games. Cross won a gold medal in wrestling, while Clausen was the only American to compete in the 20K Racewalk.
WHAT else does NCAS do for the community?
NCAS offers fundraising opportunities to local civic clubs and other community groups in the State Games Championships city as a way to give back to the community. Interested groups provide volunteers to sell State Games merchandise and charge admission fees at State Games venues. In return for their efforts, groups are given a percentage of the sales.
