Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame

The Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame (PSHF) is a nonprofit organization established in 1962. It is the only community-based hall of fame in the United States. At its annual convention and induction ceremonial, the PSHF inducts athletes, coaches, administrators, and those involved in sports medicine and the sports media, whose athletic achievements "have brought lasting fame and recognition to the State of Pennsylvania". At the induction ceremony, ten living and two deceased inductees are honored, with the presentation of a Gold Inductee medallion with pendant. The convention and ceremonial are rotated among the chapters of the Central, Eastern, Northern, and Western regions.

The first induction ceremony was in 1963.

The first Ceremonial Dinner was held in 1963, in Philadelphia; the second was in 1964, at the Pittsburgh William Penn Hotel.

The Western Region hosted the 50th Anniversary Dinner on November 11, 2012, at the Sheraton Four Points in Warrendale.

Regional chapters

The PSHF has twenty-eight chartered chapters, which serve over 300 communities in the state.

The Central Region's nine chapters are:

The Eastern Region's six chapters are: City All Star (Philadelphia), Delaware County, Montgomery County, Summit, and Tri-County.

The Northern Region's seven chapters are: Allen Rogowicz, Bernie Romanoski, Carbon County, Ed Romance, Luzerne-John Popple, Northeastern, and Northern Anthracite.

The Western Region's six chapters are: Fayette County, Mid Mon Valley, Washington-Greene County, and Western.

Nominations

Each year, each chapter may nominate the names of no more than three living persons and two deceased persons, for consideration as possible inductees.

Induction ceremonies

The 2016 induction ceremony will be hosted by the Erie County Chapter on Saturday, October 22, 2016, at the Erie Bayfront Convention Center.
