The Legacy Award is presented during the Fightstrong Foundation Golf Outing, where we take a moment to pause and reflect on a life that continues to shape our mission. Surrounded by our community, we share their story in a way that honors both their journey and the impact they left behind. This is one of the most emotional and meaningful moments of the event, serving as a reminder that while someone may no longer be with us, their presence is still deeply felt.

The selection of the Legacy Award recipient is handled with deep care and respect, working closely with families and loved ones to ensure their story is told in the most authentic and meaningful way. We look for individuals whose impact extended beyond themselves—those who brought strength to others, created lasting memories, and left behind something greater than their own journey. Every decision is made with the intention of honoring that legacy the right way.

The Legacy Award represents the idea that a person’s impact does not end with their journey—it continues through every life they’ve touched. It is about remembering the strength they showed, the love they gave, and the way they made others feel. It is about honoring a story that still lives on. At Fightstrong, we believe these legacies deserve to be carried forward, because they continue to inspire, guide, and remind us what it truly means to live with purpose.
