The "Circle of Champions"

The NCAA Hall of Champions is introducing a special community program that will benefit area school children. The "Circle of Champions" program provides an opportunity for corporations and private donors to give back to the community by sponsoring ticket "scholarships." The Hall's goal for the Circle of Champions program is to provide scholarships to hundreds of local youth annually. The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce recently became the first organization to participate in the program by committing $5,000 to the effort.

Four levels of support will purchase blocks of $4 student tickets, which will be donated in the name of the contributor to schools and/or youth organizations that, otherwise, might be unable to afford the inspirational and educational field trips to the Hall of Champions. The levels of support are as follows:


Champions ($5,000)
Gold Medal ($3,000)
Silver Medal ($2,000)
Bronze Medal ($1,000)


1,250 tickets
750 tickets
500 tickets
250 tickets

Circle of Champions sponsors will receive several benefits as a part of their participation, including:

  • Tax exemption through the NCAA Foundation donation for investing in Indianapolis youth
  • A special reception in the Hall of Champions for all participating sponsors
  • Contributor recognition on panel in the Hall
  • Personalized thank you plaque from NCAA and Hall of Champions
  • A subscription to The Journey, the Hall's bi-monthly newsletter
  • Complimentary annual membership for four individuals to the Hall of Champions
  • 10 percent discount on NCAA and NCAA Championship merchandise at the Hall's Campus Corner gift shop
