The 2020 KSHOF class members and their families will be honored in August 2020 at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville. For ticket information or sponsorship opportunities, please contact Julie Howell at jhowell@louisvillesports.org or call (502) 587-6742.

The KSHOF is owned and operated by the Louisville Sports Commission, a Kentucky-based non-profit whose mission is to attract, create, host and operate sporting events and activities that enhance the quality of life of the Commonwealth. The KSHOF was founded in 1963 to recognize athletes and sports figures who are Kentucky natives as well as individuals who participated in their respective sport or made a significant impact in their sport in Kentucky.
