Healthy Futures, an organization dedicated to empowering Alaska's youth to develop the daily habit of physical activity for life, is the signature program of the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame.

The Alaska Sports Hall of Fame is a partner in a statewide initiative to provide Alaska's youth with greater access to positive role models in sports through the Healthy Heroes project. Other founding partners in the project include the Municipality of Anchorage Parks & Recreation, the Anchorage School District, and the Alaska Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation & Dance ConocoPhillips Healthy Futures initiative. We are especially grateful to the healthy heroes that contributed their inspiring messages, for without their efforts this project would not have been possible.
