Hello CNY Sports Fans:

 

It is truly my honor and privilege to serve as the 19th president of the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame. Our 35 member board of directors is dedicated to the annual mission of honoring those women and men who have made a profound impact locally not only in the world of sports on the field or venue in which they excelled, but in our community as well.

 

Since the induction of our inaugural class in September of 1987, the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame has honored 287 athletes, coaches, administrators and media members from close to 30 sports ranging from Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey to Horseshoes and Wrestling, from Martial Arts to Action Sports and from Billiards to Equestrian.  We have a very diverse representation of inductees who we are proud to have recognized as a permanent part of the community lore and history of sports in Central New York. 

 

As a non-profit community organization, it is imperative that we reflect the voice of those we represent. That's why we encourage nominations from community members each year. Please click HERE to find out the procedure for nomination. In addition, community members are encouraged to advocate for those already nominated who they believe should be in the next class of inductees. Click HERE for the master list of nominees.

 

Please be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on LinkedIn and check out our YouTube page where you can watch the speeches of many of our inductees over the years. If you are an inductee or a family member of the inductee and see any corrections, changes or updates that are needed on the inductee’s bio page, please let us know. If you have ideas or suggestions as to how we can improve the website or any of our communication efforts, please let us know that too. Your voice can and will always be heard. Just click on Contact Us and send your thoughts our way.

 

If you haven’t visited the GSSHOF Museum at Driver’s Village, you should make it a point to do so. You’ll be amazed and inspired by the memorabilia we have on exhibit.

 

The GSSHOF is a 501 C-3 organization, therefore one of the best ways to honor those who have given so much would be to make a tax deductible donation however small or large in the inductee’s name. Just click the ‘donate’ link on the inductee's individual page, or click HERE to download the form.

 

For individuals and corporations who would like to support the great work of the GSSHOF in general or to sponsor an event or activity, please reach out to us via email (hello@greatersyracusesportshalloffame.com). Your generous gift will be instrumental in allowing us to carry on the mission we began more than 39 years ago.

Thank you.
