Since it was founded in 1961, the Baltimore Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame has been actively promoting amateur football in the greater Baltimore area, as well as the surrounding counties of Anne Arundel, Carroll, Frederick, Harford and Howard.

The main activity of the Baltimore Chapter each year is their scholar-athlete banquet. The chapter boasts one of the largest banquets each year with over 600 people in attendance. Since the first dinner in 1964, well over 3,775 student athletes have been honored and over 55,000 people have attended the dinner. A highlight each year is the presentation of scholarship awards with over $505,000 being distributed thus far. The Chapter takes great pride in its dinner, which is the largest of more than 100 similar events held by Foundation chapters throughout the country. Our dinner is the only one that honors a Scholar-Athlete from each of the football-playing high schools in the region. 

Another coveted award is the Herb Armstrong Service to Football Award, which is bestowed to individuals who have best served high school or college football in the area. The award is presented in the name of Mr. Armstrong, a founding member and longtime President of the Maryland Scholastic Association.

The Chapter is also a supporter of the Baltimore Touchdown Club and Maryland Football Coaches Association.
