Now Accepting Nominations for the Class of 2020
Do you or someone you know have what it takes? Enter here by September 20, 2019. In addition to our interest in athletes, we look for coaches, sports media, sports administrators, and anyone closely involved in the wide field of sports.
The Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame contains a remarkable collection of athletes and others involved in sports activities. We have inducted 14 Olympians, including five medal winners, two world boxing champions, three women who made first team All-American in lacrosse, people who wrote brilliantly about sports or announced games, and others who founded, owned and/or managed professional franchises.
