Musco Day on the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America! For 30 years, riders have traveled coast to coast to support Victory Junction and the kids and families it serves. We were proud to have Musco team members Jeff Rogers and Kevin Johnson along for the ride.
Oskaloosa will take the national stage this summer as it hosts the 2026 Junior League Softball Central Region Tournament from July 23–29—the first time the community has ever welcomed this event. The tournament will bring state‑champion teams from across the region to compete for a spot in the Junior League Softball World Series, creating an unforgettable week for players, families, and fans. Assistant Central Region Director of Little League, Cody Shimp, shared, “From my first visit to the Lacey Recreation Complex, it was clear Oskaloosa is well suited to host a tournament of this caliber. The facilities are first class, and the combination of a strong and welcoming community will create an outstanding experience for the players.” Oskaloosa Mayor Dave Krutzfeldt added that the welcome ceremony will take place on the city's historic square during the annual Sweet Corn Serenade, making the experience even more memorable for visiting teams and the community alike. The weeklong event is expected to draw around 150 players and roughly 500 additional family members and supporters. From high‑quality facilities to a supportive local community, this tournament reflects what Musco is proud to stand behind—creating opportunities, strengthening communities, and helping deliver experiences that bring people together.
Musco celebrated the official ribbon cutting of the Musco Sports Center in Muscatine, Iowa, on January 8. At 122,000 square feet and 87 feet tall, the facility is Iowa’s largest inflatable sports dome, designed to provide year-round access to sports and recreation. The center features turf fields, hard courts, pickleball courts, and a walking track, creating a versatile space for athletes and families alike. Jeff Rogers, Musco CEO, shared,“This place is awesome, totally awesome. We're proud to be part of this community, and we plan to be part of this community for a long time to come.” The Musco Sports Center is already generating excitement, with full weekend bookings and open public hours during the week. This project reflects Musco’s commitment to fostering community engagement and creating spaces that bring people together.
Des Moines Public Schools will soon be home to four new soccer and basketball community courts courtesy of Musco Lighting and the Caitlin Clark Foundation. The courts will open later this year at Hiatt Middle School, Callanan Middle School, McCombs Middle School, and Weeks Middle School. The Caitlin Clark Foundation and Musco call their relationship a perfect match. The two organizations are located in Iowa and are both committed to equitable access to recreation for youth. Both have a passion for sports, whether it is a game played at the local park and recreation field, a high school gymnasium, a college arena, or a professional venue. Both understand that sports build teamwork, resiliency, and healthy habits. “There’s nothing more rewarding than projects that make a difference in kids’ lives,” said CEO Jeff Rogers. “Our partnership with the Caitlin Clark Foundation is meaningful because it stems from shared values to provide increased access to recreation and safer and more enjoyable playing experiences.” Globally, Musco annually impacts 50 million kids, fostering equitable play. Musco has installed over 375 mini-pitches in the U.S. and is collaborating with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to bring 1,000 mini-pitches to the U.S. by the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Musco team member Brian Hadden was recently awarded the Service Member Patriot Award by the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). This award reflects the efforts made by managers and employers to support those serving in the military through a wide range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families, and granting leaves of absence if needed. These United States Department of Defense awards honor an employer’s commitment to support service members. Brian was nominated by former team member Justin Beener while Justin was serving in the National Guard during his time at Musco. Justin shared, “I nominated Brian and the rest of the Musco Team that had to work around my military service. Brian would always accommodate my military obligations without hesitation, even when they were last minute.” Musco President & CEO Jeff Rogers closed the award ceremony and noted, “Brian cares about his team and the entire Musco team. He’s focused on doing what’s right because it’s right and that’s evident in the way he supported Justin when he was in the National Guard.”

Team building at Wrigley Field Over 500 Musco team members recently traveled to iconic Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. The outing included ballpark tours, lunch in Wrigleyville, and watching the Cubs win under the newly installed Musco lights. Team member and avid baseball fan, Sam Cole summed up the trip; “Years of playing baseball has shown me that the closer players are, the better the team. Traveling, eating together, swapping stories, and laughing was a great way to get better acquainted with co-workers. The Chicago trip was just plain fun.” At Musco we’re proud of the innovative lighting solutions we provide for professional ballparks and small-town fields. We also believe work can be fun, and sharing the experience of Wrigley Field under Musco LED lights was a great team-building experience.
