What Is Florida Citrus Sports?

Updated

Florida Citrus Sports (FCS) is a not-for-profit event management organization based in Orlando, Florida. It hosts major college football bowl games and community events, and it runs a foundation that supports at-risk youth and local residents. If you're looking for who organizes the Citrus Bowl, the Pop-Tarts Bowl, or the Florida Blue Florida Classic — or you want to know how to attend, join, volunteer, or donate — this is the organization behind them.

What FCS Does

FCS describes itself as "a not-for-profit event management organization dedicated to positively impacting the Orlando region while enhancing the quality of life in Central Florida through world-class events."

Its work falls into two connected parts:

  • Events — hosting college football bowl games and related fan experiences in Orlando.
  • Community impact — channeling attention and money toward local causes through the Florida Citrus Sports Foundation.

The organization notes that while its events "pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy," it stays focused on helping thousands of at-risk youth through foundation programs.

The Events It Hosts

The site names several flagship events:

Event What it is
Citrus Bowl A college football bowl game in Orlando
Pop-Tarts Bowl A college football bowl game in Orlando
Florida Blue Florida Classic A recurring event (listed for Nov 21, 2026)
Road to 26 A featured initiative on the site

FCS also lists other programming such as FCS Nite Out, the Sideline Wine & Dine, the Driving Impact Celebrity Golf Classic, and the MVP Strong Families Program. Events and news are collected in a single "News & Events" section on the site.

Membership: What You Get

FCS sells a membership aimed at fans who want more than a seat. According to the site, membership includes:

  • Priority seating and reserved parking for college football games
  • Bowl scouting and networking opportunities
  • Pep rallies, kickoff luncheons, and tailgate parties

The organization frames membership as a way to be "a player as well as a fan." If you mainly want tickets to a single game, membership may be more than you need; if you plan to attend multiple events and want access and networking, it's the relevant option.

Community and Foundation Work

Since its beginning, FCS says it has been "committed to serving children and residents in need in our community." The Florida Citrus Sports Foundation runs programs for at-risk youth, and the site highlights several:

  • MVP Strong Families Program
  • Sideline Wine & Dine
  • Driving Impact Celebrity Golf Classic
  • A "Building a Brighter Future" initiative

The site also poses a broader question it explores: "What if a stadium could really revitalize a neighborhood?"

You can support this work in two direct ways the site names: donate or volunteer.

How to Get Involved

Depending on what you want, the entry points differ:

  • Attend an event — use the Tickets section for games and events.
  • Become a member — join FCS Membership for seating, parking, and networking perks.
  • Volunteer or donate — support the foundation's community programs.
  • Stay informed — sign up for "Bigtime Updates" with your name, email, and ZIP code, or follow FCS on social media.
  • Work there — the site lists careers and employment links.
