Donate to Honor Sports Diversity and Heroes

The Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame, in association with the North Legacy Project, presented an induction and community award ceremony in Seattle on June 21, 2025, at the MLK Cultural Center that was well-received and drew many accolades from those in attendance.

Unfortunately, it did not meet the financial requirements necessary to balance the budget. Therefore, we are establishing a GoFundMe to raise the balance needed in the amount of $3,000. All donations in any amount are tax-deductible.

The Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame's mission is to broaden the public's understanding of ethnic history and the role of diversity and cultural tolerance in the growth of professional sports. Its vision is to enrich, enlighten, and educate our young people while honoring our true heroes and heroines from the past. Our purpose is to provide deserving students with the opportunity for an education they might not otherwise have, and to prepare our young people to do tomorrow what our heroes did yesterday.

Testimonial:

First of all, I was deeply honored to be selected … so beyond any thoughts of myself that I could have. I thought it was a first-class day. My fellow honorees were so impressive. Their stories moved me. I'm sorry it wasn’t better attended. If I can help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. You and Billy are great, great people! So, it all went way beyond my expectations….

My biggest thanks!

Bill Krueger, Inductee
