"I am pleased to announce that the Sports Hall of Fame's application to gain tax-exempt status under section 501(c)3 of the United States Internal Revenue Code has been approved.

The application was forwarded to the IRS about February 1st, and it included the Hall of Fame's restated By-Laws and restated Articles of Incorporation in Michigan, which were approved by a vote of its Lifetime Members last November. To complete this process with the State of Michigan, an application has been submitted to the Attorney General's office for a license to solicit charitable contributions and to register as a chairitable trust."
