Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame
The Gridiron Greats is a non for profit charity founded by Jerry Kramer. As a goodwill gesture, and with the idea of football is football no matter where it is played, the Gridiron Greats and CFL Alumni Association have “joined hands across the border” to raise awareness and funds of those former players in need.
Local CFLAA members associations are asked to nominate a worthy candidate for the Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame. (http://www.gridirongreats.org/ ).
Criteria:
- CFHOF Member who has made a significant contribution to the Alumni
- A great player not in the CFHOF who has made a significant contribution to the Alumni
- A former CFL player who fought through adversity and prevailed.
- A former CFL player who has made an extraordinary contribution to the community and/or the Canadian Football League
The inductee will be honored at the Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame Dinner held in each year in Las Vegas, Nevada and Detroint. Michigan.(outside of Detroit)
