Posted by on

During the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame’s 2025 Induction Dinner & Ceremony, the SSHF was proud to launch the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame Sheila Kelly Legacy Fund.

In her 32 years as executive director of the SSHF, Sheila Kelly displayed passion, dedication and professionalism to help the Hall of Fame through a period of growth and stability. With the creation of the Sheila Kelly Legacy Fund, her commitment to the long-term sustainability of the Hall of Fame will live on.

Each year, thousands of students engage in the Hall of Fame’s award-winning educational outreach programming.

Through the Sheila Kelly Legacy Fund, you can support the important work of the Hall of Fame to preserve this cultural heritage. By supporting the fund, you can ensure that the SSHF remains a dynamic, self-sustaining attraction that honours the diverse sport history of Saskatchewan and will preserve and celebrate the stories of Saskatchewan athletes and their communities for future generations.

The Sheila Kelly Legacy Fund is administered by the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation.

Call for Donations/Consignments – SSHF Online Fundraising Auction!

Posted by on

The Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame is partnering with the Saskatchewan Network for Art Collecting to launch an online Art and Memorabilia Auction to raise funds to support the SSHF’s educational and outreach programming as well as other significant initiatives in the coming year.

Donations are invited from artists, art collectors, athletes and fans for a special online auction for the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame. We have limited space in the auction, but if you have items of value that you feel would contribute to the success of the auction, we would love to include them. We are accepting memorabilia and sports-themed artwork, but any piece of fine art would fit well within the items that are currently up for auction.

Any items brought to the Hall of Fame through this call-out will be auctioned off and will not be retained as part of our collection of artifacts.

If you have any item that you feel may be more appropriate to be part of our collection, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss an artifact donation.

The auction will be hosted by the Saskatchewan Network for Art Collecting, running online from January 30 to February 22, 2025, and will feature artwork and sport memorabilia.

DONATIONS: Artworks (any medium and subject, Saskatchewan or otherwise) and sport memorabilia will be offered with 100% of each winning bid going to the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame (SSHF) to support its programming throughout Saskatchewan.

CONSIGNMENTS: Additionally, artworks which feature sports imagery can be consigned to the auction with 50% of the winning bid going to the SSHF and 50% going back to the consignor.

Charitable Donation Receipts will be issued for SSHF revenue of $100 or more. This online auction will feature over 100 Saskatchewan, Canadian and international artworks, with artworks already confirmed by Michael Lonechild, Jason Robins, Henri Masson, Neville Clark, Zora Buchanan, Charles Bragg, Carol Ann Shelton and more, along with sports memorabilia from Saskatchewan, Canada and beyond.
