Code of Conduct Acceptance

BCSF VISION AND CODE OF CONDUCT


Our mission at the Blessed Culture and Sports Festival is to provide the platform where we can display our best form in sportsmanship and artistic expression and to share that with friends and family. This event is a time and place where we bring together the best of what our communities have to offer from around the country. Although we come from many different regions and backgrounds with differences in culture, our commonality is the shared values and beliefs that we have been given by our community of faith that binds us together. To honor that shared experience, it is very important to us that we are able to uphold a certain standard of behavior and attitude and do it where it is evoked from the best parts of ourselves. We speak of being a family and so we ask that everyone looks out for each other physically and spiritually.

As a family friendly event, we ask that all the participants and attendees refrain from certain behaviors that reduce the quality and experience of everyone involved. Our code that we ask you to agree to abide by while you are at the BCSF is as follows:
