Provenance: The Helms Athletic Foundation was a Los Angeles-based sports organization founded in 1936 by W.R. “Bill” Schroeder a private sports memorabilia collector and Paul Helms the owner of the once famed Helms Bakery which was the “official baker” of the 1932 Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games. Schroeder started collecting various sports artifacts in 1932 with the dream of one day sharing them for public viewing. His vision became a reality when Helms agreed to sponsor the venture. The foundation operated halls of fame for professional football Major League Baseball the Pacific Coast League basketball fencing golf tennis swimming auto racing and track and field. Located on Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles California Helms Hall was among the first public sports museums in the US. Although the museum eventually relocated in the early ‘80s to smaller venues in west Los Angeles the collection continued to be maintained and well preserved.When the Helms Foundation dissolved its historical holdings were absorbed into the collection of the Amateur Athletic Foundation renamed the LA84 Foundation in 2007.
