Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber participated in a Monday summit at New York University on the Social Responsibility of Sports, alongside executives from nine professional sports who came together to exchange ideas on the topic.
Garber was joined by representatives from the NBA, WNBA, NFL, NASCAR, Major League Baseball, the LPGA, the PGA and the NHL at Monday's event, which was hosted by the NYU's Tisch Institute for Sports Management, Media, and Business.
Among the other commissioners on hand were Roger Goodell (NFL), Adam Silver (NBA) and Rob Manfred (MLB).
The summit was designed to "provide professional sports leagues with further tools and research, enabling them to create and evaluate social responsibility programs more effectively and efficiently – thus generating even greater impact on communities," according to an official release issued by organizers.
