#GIVINGTUESDAY December 3, 2024
Tuesday, December 3, is #GivingTuesday, a day where millions across the world show their support for nonprofit organizations that make a difference in their communities. As we enter the “year-end” giving season, there are many nonprofit organizations worthy of support that are addressing significant societal issues. Our challenge here at the Hall of Fame is that within the nonprofit world we are viewed by many as strictly a “sports recognition” organization. Those who have followed our evolution over the past seven years know that we have become much more than that.
We are a Hall of Fame because of our over 360 Inductees, and we will continue to be a champion for athletic excellence in Virginia. We also want to use our standing as the Official Sports Hall of Fame in Virginia to provide community focused initiatives through sports that support education, health and wellness, and access and opportunity. While we honor the best of the best, we want to make sure young athletes have every opportunity to be their best. Often, sports can provide that foundation.
We don’t make this ask lightly, but it is necessary to secure our future. A tax deductible donation as part of #GIVINGTUESDAY or a year-end contribution allows us to continue our mission and honor our core values, Recognition, Impact, and Integrity. We take immense pride in the work we have done and hope we can continue creating a Hall of Fame platform that is unique to Virginia. Help us celebrate ALL that is good about sports in Virginia.
On behalf of the Hall of Fame and its full Board of Directors, we thank you for your support and consideration. #ParticipateDontSpectate
