Each July since 1997, the New Haven Chapter plays its counterparts from the Fairfield Chapter in the Hall of Fame Classic, a game between graduating seniors from both chapters. This exciting game brings crowds up to 3,500 and with outstanding support from our sponsors, provides scholarships, which are awarded at each chapter’s scholar athlete banquet each spring. Offensive and Defensive MVP awards are given after each game and the "Victorious Chapter Trophy" is presented to the winning team.
