2016 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the formation of the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. For 50 years, the Hall has Honoured the Past and Inspired the Future. From its original home at the PNE to its current home at B.C. Place, the Hall has provided a home to recognize B.C.'s champions and sport builders. Currently, there are 363 individuals and 58 teams inducted in our Hall of Fame.
In order to "kickstart" the "Next Fifty", we want to take the opportunity presented by the Fiftieth Anniversary to do some additional targeted fundraising through a "First Fifty Program". The intention of the First Fifty Program is to identify fifty friends of the Hall who will donate $5,000 each to the Hall. The donations will be one hundred percent tax deductible. The donors will be known as the "First Fifty".
