The Pueblo Hall of Fame was established in 1991 to honor those individuals who – by their extraordinary efforts – have contributed to the betterment or enhancement of Pueblo. Proceeds from the annual event support the Pueblo Community College Foundation and its student scholar and academic excellence programs at Pueblo Community College.
Each year a new class of inductees are presented to the community at a special cocktail and dinner party. In addition to the formal induction ceremony, a permanent record of all Pueblo Hall of Fame inductees is on display at Pueblo Community College within the Fortino Ballroom.
One or more contemporary individuals will be honored each year. The areas of endeavor for nominations may include education, business and labor, arts and humanities, philanthropy, government, law, science and technology, and health and human services. Deceased persons may be selected by virtue of his or her historical contribution to the Pueblo community.
