Hall of Fame
We are thrilled to announce that the Tennessee Senior Olympics established a Hall of Fame in 2017. Scores of exceptional athletes and key volunteers have graced our system. Honoring these individuals will be an exciting time for our organization.
The purpose of the Tennessee Senior Olympics HALL OF FAME is to recognize and honor outstanding athletic performances as well as outstanding contributions that have made our organization successful.
Hall of Fame note for 2020: Two of our 2019 HOF winners were not able to attend the ceremony last year. They will be officially inducted this year. Also, 2020 is our 40th anniversary. Due to these two celebrations and time allotment at the party the board decided to postpone nominations for HOF and resume in 2021.
Please keep your nominee(s) in mind for next year.
