Four Athletics Legends to be Inducted Into 2025 Three Lakes Hall of Fame
Four inductees will be welcomed into the Three Lakes Athletic Hall of Fame later this month during the annual banquet hosted by the Three Lakes Coaches Association. The hall of fame honors Three Lakes athletes who have made an impact in the school district as student athletes, coaches or fans.
The honorific dinner is open to the public and will take place Friday, June 27, at the Reiter Center, located at 1858 S. Michigan St. A social hour will be from 5 to 6 p.m., followed by the meal. Seating is limited so purchasing tickets early is strongly encouraged. They can be purchased online at gofan.co or through the school's district office at a cost of $35.
The banquet and Hall of Fame initiative serve as a way to raise funds to benefit student athletes and help promote athletics at Three Lakes School District.
