The primary goal of the SUNY Orange Athletic Hall of Fame is to recognize those individuals, who by outstanding achievement in athletics or service to the College, have made lasting contributions to the sports program. While athletic achievement is the primary qualifier for eligibility, the character of the nominee and their contribution to the institution and the community are also considered.
Funds raised during the event directly support athletic scholarships, empowering future student-athletes to excel both on the field and in the classroom. Your contributions make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.
For more information or to inquire about contributing to or starting your own athletic scholarship, contact Executive Director, Dawn Ansbro.
