our mission

Honoring Kentucky’s Pro Football legends to support Kentucky’s children and young people

The Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame was founded in 2003 when members of the Kentucky Chapter of the NFL Players Association came together to organize events supporting children’s charities across the Commonwealth. What began as a way to unite local NFL alumni soon evolved into a larger vision—one that recognized the incredible football talent with Kentucky ties. In a state renowned for basketball, why not also celebrate the athletes, coaches, officials, executives, and media personalities who have made their mark in the National Football League? From this idea, the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame was born.

Proudly, it stands as the only Professional Football Hall of Fame at the state level, outside of the national NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Jason Dunn, Class of 2006

Our Mission has always been clear:

To honor Kentucky’s football legends while supporting Kentucky’s children and youth

Supporting our Legacy

We remain steadfast in this commitment. Each year, we proudly present a check to our chosen beneficiary, helping fund youth and children’s charities while also fostering the growth of football at all levels throughout Kentucky. Over the years, we have raised more than a million dollars for these charities, making a lasting impact on countless young lives.

In a world of constant change, we recognize the enduring values the game instills—discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—qualities that extend far beyond the field and into the game of life.

Looking ahead, we envision the Hall of Fame Living History House—a space not only dedicated to preserving the memorabilia and legacies of Kentucky’s football’s greats but also serving as a place where the story of the game, and its impact on our nation and Commonwealth, can be shared and understood for generations to come.
