Giving Programs
As a museum, there are different ways in which people can support the Hall that fits their ability and gives them the satisfaction of knowing they have made a difference. Whether it’s to help youth learn about good character, or acquire/create a special exhibit that will impact visitors to the Hall from a basketball or historical perspective, giving financial support continues to allow the Hall of Fame to remain the finest sports museum in the world – and so much more.

Inspiration Program
Successful people are often heard giving credit to someone who inspired them in a very special way in their life. These stories lift our spirits and make us think of those who have inspired us along the way, helping us to achieve things we may never have dreamed of. Recognizing these influences in our lives, many individuals have chosen to honor or pay tribute to the memory of someone who inspired them. Through the Basketball Hall of Fame’s Inspiration Program each person’s story is unique and offers a way to immortalize the impact that a special person has made in their life.
If you would like to know more about the Inspiration Program, you can view our Inspiration brochures, or call 413-231-5508 to share your story of inspiration.
