The Legacy Award is given to a US Army Veteran candidate in the Catch A Lift Program that emulates Michael’s love of country, exemplary service in the US Army, displays passion for fitness, and devotion to family.

If they so wish, the Arnold family will have the opportunity to present this award via virtual meeting (or in-person) yearly to the selected candidate.

This outstanding individual will receive a one-year grant in the Catch A Lift program, an educational commission to pursue a certification in wellness, and be featured on an episode of the Coaches Corner podcast to share their story in honor of Michael.
