The Mascot Hall of Fame is a specialized institution within the performing arts and spectator sports sector that honors United States sports mascots. Founded by David Raymond, the original Phillie Phanatic, the organization began as an online memorial and conducts annual induction ceremonies in Philadelphia, linking digital nomination processes with live recognitions. Applicants are nominated through a process involving a voting membership and an executive committee comprised of performers, sports executives, and other mascot community insiders, with a public online vote contributing to the final decision. The hall presents itself as a space for celebrating mascot culture and its impact on sports and entertainment in the United States.

Based in the Whiting, Indiana area, the Mascot Hall of Fame operates with a small team and maintains a public-facing website for information and engagement. It has pursued partnerships and appearances, expanding its reach through notable hires and recognition reported in recent news, which indicates ongoing activity and expansion within its niche. The organization sits within the broader ecosystem of sports-related halls of fame, offering a focused venue for the unique role mascots play in fan experience and brand identity.
