Since its first induction class in 1972, the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame has carried the torch as the official state Hall of Fame for Virginia. It has served its mission of honoring athletic excellence in the Commonwealth through the induction of 345 deserving athletes, coaches, and contributors from all corners of Virginia. 2023 Induction Weekend, the 50th induction events in the Hall’s history, will see the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame welcome a new group of inductees into the Hall of Honor. The Hall is planning multiple events that will provide engagement and exposure opportunities for sports fans and our corporate partners. Our goal is to provide a weekend celebration worthy of the Hall and its inductees. Scheduled events include:

  • Friday, April 21, 2023; Welcome Reception, Three Notch’d Craft Kitchen & Brewery. **Private sponsor event**
  • Saturday, April 22, 2023; Breakfast With Champions, family-oriented, meet & greet, autograph session for new inductees. Westin Hotel, 9 a.m.

As the largest annual event, Induction Weekend offers the Hall and its partners countless opportunities for exposure through on-site engagement at weekend events, to marketing and promotional outreach in the lead-up to the weekend.
