We recently received word from our social media trivia challenge winner on his experience at the 2012 Arizona Sports Hall of Fame ceremony!
“My experience at the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame event was AMAZING!! It was truly an honor to meet all the inductees and the Phoenix Regional Sports Commission staff. Everyone was really nice and made me feel welcome. One of the my highlights was meeting Jake "The Snake" Plummer who was my all time favorite ASU Quarterback and meeting former Angel and GCU Alum Tim Salmon. Thank you to everyone at the Phoenix Regional Sports Commission for giving me an opportunity to attend this special once in a lifetime star studded event. It was truly a blessing to be the social media trivia challenge winner!” – 'kc' Cusack
