Orlando Sports: Official Home of the Central Florida Sports Commission

The 17th Annual Celebrity Mascot Games is the ONLY event of its kind in the world and the best family event in Orlando. Hosted by the Central Florida Sports Commission, the Celebrity Mascot Games features nearly 30 mascots from sports teams across the country that will battle through gladiator themed games to determine who is the true champion of the sports world. A short list of the mascots who plan to attend this year’s event include the Orlando Magic’s very own Stuff, Knightro from the University of Central Florida, Albert from the University of Florida, Sebastian from the University of Miami, Roary from the Detroit Lions, and Lil Red from the University of Nebraska...

Proceeds from the Celebrity Mascot Games benefit New Hope for Kids, an Orlando-based not-for-profit organization that grants wishes to children under the age of 18 who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses. Since its inception, New Hope has granted more than 3,000 wishes, focusing on the children of Central Florida. In addition, since the first Mascot Games in 1992, this event has raised nearly $250,000 for New Hope for Kids. For more information and to purchase tickets visit www.mascotgames.org.
