We're shining a light on our African-American sports heroes​

The Lexington African-American Sports Hall of Fame, Inc. (LAASHOF, Inc., pronounced "lay-shoff") is comprised of a group of like-minded individuals who believe our local African-American sports heroes deserve to be commemorated in a special way. We are a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation striving to uplift, unite, and reinvigorate our community by shining the spotlight on our sports stars from days gone by.
