Dear Members & Friends of the Salinas Valley Sports Hall of Fame,

The 2026 edition of the Salinas Valley Sports Hall of Fame’s induction ceremony, set for August 22, is rapidly approaching. This first-class event is made possible through the support of our community—the donors, sponsors and fans who believe in our Mission. Specifically:

To recognize and honor athletes, coaches and community members who have contributed to the rich sports history of the Salinas Valley.

This year, we are embarking on an ambitious capital campaign to create a new sign that will officially designate the back wall of the Rabobank Stadium as the Salinas Valley Sports Hall of Fame. This beautiful emblem will be placed above the inductee plaques and draw fans to our “Wall of Fame.”

To realize this vision, we need the support of our community. Please consider making a donation to help us turn our vision into reality. Your donation to the capital campaign will fund this great addition to our organization and make a lasting impact in the Salinas Valley. We have various giving levels and recognition opportunities and would be honored to commemorate your contribution.

This sign is scheduled to be put in place in April of 2026. Your sponsorship logo/name will be honored for 10 years (from the date your sponsorship is in place) and will be seen by thousands of annual visitors to the Rabobank Stadium.

Thank you for considering our request. With your financial assistance, you will help move the Salinas Valley Sports Hall of Fame into its next decade.

Sincerely,
Jim Rear
Chair, Salinas Valley Sports Hall of Fame
