Enjoying a remarkable Hall of Fame career that included winning multiple Stanley Cup championships along with numerous personal accolades and honours, Ted Lindsay further made his mark on the game through his efforts to help organize the first attempt at a Players' Association in the late-1950s. Offered directly from the Ted Lindsay Foundation with proceeds from this sale to benefit their continued battle against autism, we have a career highlights print signed by the superstar. At 16” x 20” and featuring a number of small vignettes and images from throughout his legendary career including his 1957 Sports Illustrated cover with Gordie Howe, his days with the Toronto St. Michael's Majors and images with his Production Line teammates, Lindsay has signed within his #7 in black marker, adding “H.H.O.F. 66” at the base. The prints itself shows light wear with a ding to the upper right corner, with an LOA to accompany.
Originally created by the legendary Hall of Fame superstar in 2001 to assist a friend’s child diagnosed with autism, the Ted Lindsay Foundation was established to “support research and educational programs focusing on the cause and management of autism spectrum disorders.” Although Ted sadly left us in 2019, the foundation’s important work has continued, with over 5 million raised from inception through 2020. At the 28th National Philanthropy Day celebration, the Ted Lindsay Foundation received the prestigious “Outstanding Foundation Award” for 2019, from the Greater Detroit Chapter of Association of Fundraising Professionals for demonstrating “outstanding commitment through financial support and through encouragement and motivation to others to take leadership roles in philanthropy and community involvement.” A partial list of programs supported by the Ted Lindsay Foundation include; FAR Therapeutic Arts and Recreation, The Healing Haven-Linking Hands and Hearts, The Courage Awards, Venetian’s Club’s Halloween Party, The Johnson Center, Dutton Farms and For The Kids Foundation.
