The Jewish Sports Hall Of Fame of Western Pennsylvania was founded in 1982 with a dual mission:

1. To financially support Jewish related sports programs in Western Pennsylvania and Israel.
2. To find Jewish men and women with connections to Western Pennsylvania who have achieved a high level in athletic competition, or with prestigious careers that are closely related to the sports field, and to honor them with induction into our Hall of Fame.

The annual Ziggy Kahn Award is presented to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the children of our community

We also present the Manny Gold Humanitarian Award. This is not an annual award, given to a group or individual in memory of Manny Gold who was one of the founders of our organization.

We also recognize local area Jewish high school seniors for there accomplishments on and off the field.

All revenues generated are used to benefit youth sports programs in Western Pennsylvania and Israel.
