A Special Partnership: NIAF and The National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame — Located in the heart of Chicago’s Little Italy, The National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame (NIASHF) features a collection of priceless sports memorabilia, including include Mario Andretti's Indy 500 racecar, Rocky Marciano's first heavyweight championship belt, Vince Lombardi's last coat worn as coach of the Green Bay Packers and swimmer Matt Biondi's Olympic Gold Medals. More than 200 inductees are enshrined in the Sports Hall of Fame, which highlights the positive accomplishments of Italian American athletes. But the Hall of Fame offers much more than historical exhibits. To date, the organization has raised more than $6 million for scholarships and charitable causes. And its new facility was dedicated in 2000 as "The Jerry Colangelo Center,” named after NIASHF Building Fund Chairman Jerry Colangelo, who also serves as NIAF’s Chairman. NIAF is proud to partner with the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame on a number of initiatives to educate the public about the achievements of Italian Americans in sports and the special role that athletics have played in our heritage. NIAF programs at the NIASHF have featured president of the Chicago Blackhawks John McDonough, in addition to NIAF’s own Jerry Colangelo. Several NIAF functions this year have featured NIASHF spokesman Mike Piazza and NIASHF Founder George Randazzo.

NIAF’s Annual Scholarship Program — Since its inception less than one year after NIAF was founded, the NIAF Annual Scholarship Program has grown from giving out a handful of scholarships to awarding hundreds of scholarships. NIAF awards merit-based scholarships in the humanities, engineering, medicine, business, music, Italian language and culture, and other specialized fields. Scholarship sponsors include large corporations, Italian American families, organizations and NIAF’s own endowment fund. More than 5,500 students applied for NIAF scholarships this year. The average scholarship recipient had an outstanding academic GPA of 3.75. Over the years, NIAF has sent students on scholarships to Ivy League schools as well as outstanding state universities, colleges and study abroad programs in Italy.
