33rd ANNUAL HALL OF FAME INDUCTION DINNER - 2013 SPONSORSHIP FORM

American Football Association Announces Deal to Produce Annual Hall of Fame Yearbook

Binghamton, NEW YORK - The American Football Association has reached agreement with Smyrna Media Group to develop an annual Hall of Fame Induction Yearbook. The American Football Association’s Semi-Pro Football Hall of Fame has been recognizing individuals whose leadership, performance, and unselfish contributions have forever endeared their fans, family, and former teammates.

The American Football Association is in its 33rd year and annually holds an induction dinner/ceremony at the Pro-Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. The Yearbook will feature information of the current class of inductees and biographical information of past inductees, many of whom played and/or coached in the NFL and some are also in the Pro-Football Hall of Fame.

Ronald J. Real founded the American Football Association in 1980. In addition to maintaining its Hall of Fame, the purpose of the AFA is to coordinate and promote Semi-Pro and Minor League football on a national level. In this role, the AFA has held both national championship and “All-Star” games, providing opportunities for players to continue to compete at the adult amateur football level while also providing opportunities/visibility for Arena, Indoor and NFL scouts.

Promotional space is available and orders are now being accepted. For more information, please contact; Britt Bochiardy/Smyrna Media/This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
