Madison/McDaniel Hall of Fame Set to Launch This Fall!

A dedicated group of Madison alumni, led by PIL Hall of Famer and Madison Class of 1970 graduate Dave Gasser, have partnered with McDaniel Principal Adam Skyles and Athletic Director Tyler Kelleher to officially launch the Madison/McDaniel Hall of Fame this coming Fall.

The Hall of Fame will be web-based and feature an interactive digital display, which will be installed on a prominent wall near the main entrance of the McDaniel High School gymnasium. The project aims to honor the rich athletic history of both Madison and McDaniel High Schools.

To bring this vision to life, the alumni group has enlisted Rocket Alumni Solutions, a Boston-based firm renowned for creating dynamic digital alumni experiences. Additionally, Infinity Images of Portland will contribute artistic installations that vividly tell the story of both schools and their athletic legacies.

The initial Hall of Fame class will include:

77 Madison athletes already inducted into the Portland Interscholastic League (PIL) Hall of FameLegendary Athletic Director Bill WiitalaFive new inductees to be honored at the PIL Hall of Fame Banquet this November

The goal is to complete the installation and unveil the Hall of Fame at a special preview event at the start of the 2025–2026 school year.

Support the ProjectThe total cost of the project is estimated at $18,000. To contribute or learn more, please contact:

Support PIL Student Athletes today and in the future by donating to thePIL HOF "PAYING IT FORWARD PROGRAM"

You can help for as little as $5/month.

Where do these donations go?

The two programs below will be the primary beneficiaries:

College Access - is a program that the PIL fundraises annually to assist students from PIL to find post high school sport opportunities. Priority is given to students of color or underprivileged youth who attend Franklin, Jefferson, McDaniel and Roosevelt. Students receive a range of services: self-marketing, college visitations, coach relationships and consultation, college application and financial aid, transportation to school and cost associated with registration and housing.Participation fees for PIL Youth Sport Program - PILYSP provide 5000 Middle School students with access to middle school sports. The purpose of the program is to increase the quality of girls' basketball, reduce migration to private schools, develop feeder programs to PIL high schools, and to install academic standards so they are prepared for high school athletics. The contribution will pay the participation fees for students who otherwise could not afford to participate. The cost is $200 per student or $65 for free and reduced lunch.

We will continue to use funds generated by the annual Mel Krause Memorial Golf Tournament to provide financial support and resources to PIL athletics at the request of PIL Athletic Director Marshall Haskins and his staff. This includes, but is not limited to helping offset participation fees, college access support, youth sport program, funding athletic trainers, providing athletic equipment and supplies, and helping with facilities upgrades and maintenance. These funds will also be used, if needed, to offset cost of the annual PIL HOF Induction Banquet.

Supporters have several levels of annual giving or “virtual brick” options:

Platinum at $25/month or $500 one-timeGold at $20/monthSilver at $10/monthBronze at $5/monthAlso, a one-time gift in any amount to honor a special person in your life is available.

Additionally, we offer Planned Giving options. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the residue of your estate to the PIL HOF and still provide for your loved ones. Some examples include Bequests in your Will or Living Trust, Beneficiary Designation, Charitable Trusts, Retirement Plan Gifts, Life Insurance, Charitable Gift Annuities, or Stocks & Other Securities. Please consider speaking to your tax advisor and/or lawyer to determine which Planned Giving strategy is best for you.
