A “kickoff” event on Wednesday will celebrate Madison’s hosting of the 2010 U.S. Transplant Games.
Madison will host the games July 30-Aug. 4, an event that city and business officials claim will attract national media attention and welcome visitors and dollars to the isthmus.
….More than 7,000 participants are expected to pour $2.6 million into Madison during the five-day run of the games, which will take place in various venues around the city, including the Alliant Energy Center, the Kohl Center, Monona Terrace, UW sports centers, and bowling and golf facilities.
