The Tigers Athletic Hall of Fame was started in 2010 for the purpose of acknowledging athletes, coaches and state champion teams that have made a historical contribution to the Albert Lea Tigers athletic program.

Proceeds from the event go to the Albert Lea Education Foundation for the sole purpose of lowering student participation fees.

The event in 2018 raised over $7,000 and has raised over $50,000 since its inception.
