At this time, the Committee is seeking Letters of Support up to one (1) full page in length for these nominees from other members of TeamCROWN.  TeamCROWN is defined as anyone who is/was an active member, faculty, or support staff of Crown (this includes board, administration, drivers, volunteers, etc.).  Each TeamCROWN member may submit a Letter of Support for as many nominees as they choose, but only one per nominee.

Letters of support should be submitted via email to hof@carolinacrown.org and must be received by Sunday, May 31, 2026!  The Crown Hall of Fame Committee will review each Letter of Support and vote for up to three nominees to be inducted into the Crown Hall of Fame Class of 2026.  The Class of 2026 will be announced on Saturday, June 20, 2026 at our CrownLIVE event at Gardner Webb University.
