Overview

Mission

To honor worthy athletes and others who have contributed to the advancement and encouragement of athletic endeavors in Fresno County.

What it reported doing in 2024

A core objective of the Fresno Athletic Hall of Fame since its foundation in 1958, has been the establishment of a permanent home where the rich athletic heritage, amazing stories, and priceless memorabilia of Fresno County could be displayed and celebrated. In 2015 the Fresno Athletic Hall of Fame established a display at the Fresno County historical museum located at the Fresno Fairgrounds to showcase some of their memorabilia. In September 2022 the Fresno Athletic Hall of Fame opened a digital museum at the Save Mart Center located at 2650 E. Shaw Ave., Fresno, CA 93710.Every year the Organization holds their Enshrinement Dinner to honor inductees. Approximately 440 individuals attended the annual dinner in November 2024. Funds will allow the Hall of Fame to continue to honor athletes at its annual Enshrinement Dinner and will provide funds to operate the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame also contributed time and funds to a Golf Tournament held on May 8, 2024.
