Steve Stavro Scholarship Fund
Steve Stavro's support of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame was invaluable. Today Steve's spirit lives on through a scholarship fund in his name. In 2006, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment provided an endowment fund in Steve's honour for a scholarship that allows Canada's Sports Hall of Fame to hire special researchers to advance the Hall's mission of preserving Canadian sports history. Steve's generosity continues and his legacy flourishes.
