About the Hall of Fame
Players Classic
The
Hall of Fame Players Classic was created by pro Football Hall of Fame Players themselves as a way to raise awareness of the Hall of Fame Players ongoing plight for assistance. These Pro Football Legends are actively participating in
Hall of Fame Players Classic events to raise funds for fellow Hall of Fame Players. The
Hall of Fame Players Classic also continues to solicit and secure sponsorship for the benefit of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Players.
Such noted sponsors include:
The Starkey Hearing Foundation a global leader in giving the gift of hearing to people in need around the world and in raising awareness for the need to protect an individual’s personal hearing. The foundation has fit over 450,000 hearing aids globally since 2000 and is on track to do a million more by 2020!
Van Heusen - For the second consecutive year, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has teamed up with Van Heusen and JC Penney to ask fans to voice their choice for whom they think should be included in the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2011 at
www.fanschoice.com. The Van Heusen Fan's Choice campaign which launched in September
mirrors the Hall of Fame's selection process. To date there have been more
than 3 million votes at fanschoice.com and one lucky fan will announce the
Fan's Choice for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2011 live on NFL
Network alongside program spokesman Steve Young just prior to the official
announcement from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I have played in the HOF Players Classic for a few years and it is not only a great event but if you are a football fan and you know your history, then you realize that these are the men that make the game what it is today. That you are walking and talking to the history of your favorite sport. The really amazing part is that they are just regular people like you and me not the Prima Donna’s of today.
