First Donation Made to Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Expansion Project
Tuesday, September 27, 2011

The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, located at 15 W. Third Street, Jamestown, has been a fixture of the community since 1980, and was organized to preserve and honor Chautauqua County's sports celebrities.

Hall of Fame membership is growing, and their displays and collections are exceeding the space they currently utilize. Recently, the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Board of Directors agreed that establishing a Non-Endowment Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation was the best way to gather the necessary funds to use towards expansion. The Foundation's Board of Directors agreed, and voted unanimously to establish the Non-Endowment Fund.

Larry Worler, President of the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club, recently presented Russ Ecklund, Secretary of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, with the first check towards the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Non-Endowment Fund.

To make a tax-deductible donation towards the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame project, simply visit the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation's website at www.crcfonline.org, click on the "Donate Now" link, and use the keyword "sport". Checks can also be sent to the Community Foundation at 418 Spring Street, Jamestown, NY."
