Bay County Sports Hall of Fame

The Dow Bay Area Family YMCA is home to the Bay County Sports Hall of Fame, an organization devoted to the celebration and preservation of our sports history, formed in 1990. Since 1994, the Bay County Sports Hall of Fame annually gifts a scholarship  to benefit scholars/athletes in the Bay County School system. Each year, the Hall of Fame Scholarship Committee reviews applications from scholars/athletes and presents a $500 award to one student/athlete from each Bay County school. Schools include: Bay City Central, Bay City Western, Pinconning High School, Bangor John Glenn, Essexville Garber and Bay City All Saints. The Hall of Fame has since given more than $100,000 to deserving high school athlees/scholars.
