Sportsmanship

Leadership

Citizenship

Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.

— Nelson Mandela

Our Programs

Race & Sports

The Rose Bowl Institute hosts a series of dialogues to address issues of race and sports, and to inspire Americans to learn, grow and educate one another on the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Rose Table Dialogues

We host 20-25 leaders around the DeWitt Family Rose Table within the Rose Bowl’s gorgeous Charles E. Young Locker Room. These moderated dialogues will define critical issues relating to sports values and recommend creative yet practical solutions.

ROSI

The Rose Bowl Sportsmanship Initiative (ROSI) champions the value of sportsmanship in all aspects of sports, and in society more broadly. The ROSI Initiative has several aspects that include awards and contests.

Women's Empowerment

The three-day annual Women’s Empowerment Symposium at the Rose Bowl Institute helps develop strong female and male leaders among high school juniors and seniors and college students.

Music & Sports

Sports and music often go hand-in-hand. Athletes use music to calm themselves before a contest, to motivate, or to improve performance. Spectators rely on music to enhance their enjoyment of the game.

Sports & Innovation

Sports is often a petri dish for advances in technology, in new thinking, and in other areas of innovation. How can innovation improve performance and safer participation in sports?
