ONTARIO SPORTS HALL OF FAME | Celebrating 26 Years. “1994-2020” 1 u | MESSAGE

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT…

2020 will be a year of change and new projects for the Sports Hall of Fame! Our annual Induction Ceremony and Awards Gala is in it’s 26th year, and I offer my personal and profound thanks for your past support of our annual celebration and related community activities.

This year’s OSHOF Gala will present another stellar “Class of 2020” inductee lineup including an outstanding selection of special award recipients. Whether you choose to come on board as a major partner, as a table sponsor or with the purchase of individual tickets for you and your guests, your participation provides invaluable support enabling us to showcase and appreciate our most recognized sports athletes, community leaders and volunteer citizens.

Of course, you can expect to indulge in a fabulous evening of great food, drink and unforgettable entertainment and many opportunities to bid on selected treasures in the silent auction and participate in our 50-50 raffle. It’s a night of networking with your sporting heroes, business, community and philanthropic leaders, not to mention the athletes themselves.

To our board of directors and volunteers who donate their time, talent and creativity, I extend my appreciation to them all!

We must reply upon your generosity to sustain our celebration, education and awareness of Ontario sporting accomplishments to our citizens and communities across Ontario. Sincere thanks for your consideration to support and join us for another OSHOF Gala, celebrating the best in Ontario sport.

I look forward to meeting you on this special night!

Mark Gravett, President Ontario Sports Hall of Fame

2 ONTARIO SPORTS HALL OF FAME | Celebrating 26 Years. “1994-2020” u | ABOUT THE HALL

ABOUT THE ONTARIO SPORTS HALL OF FAME The Ontario Sports Hall of Fame (OSHOF) is a volunteer, not-for-profit organization devoted to honouring Ontario’s greatest athletes, builders, personalities and media for their lifelong contributions to the Ontario sports scene.

It is the role of the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame to ensure that these memories remain firmly ingrained in our hearts and minds and that time will not diminish the nature of our legends’ deeds for generations to come.

The Hall of Fame was established in 1994 by Bruce Prentice, following a 15-year tenure as founder and president of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. The inaugural class of honoured members was inducted in 1994.

Each year, the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame honours recipients of the Brian Williams Media Award, the Community Service Award, the Bruce Prentice Legacy Award and the Syl Apps, Ontario Athlete of the Year Award.
