Three remarkable and courageous honorees – Megan Squire, Michael Haynes, and Eric LeGrand, – will be honored at the 21st Anniversary Celebration of the Tempe Sports Authority Foundation’s Courage Awards on Monday, March 10, 2014.
The Tempe Sports Authority Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, established the annual prestigious Courage Awards in 1994 through the volunteer efforts of the board. The award ceremony celebrates exceptional men and women athletes and individuals who triumph over obstacles to rise above physical challenges or overcome significant injury to persevere and achieve their goals. These role models demonstrate heroism in the face of adversity and inspire young people nationwide.
"For 20 years, The Courage Awards have been honoring men and woman whose stories of triumph and determination are universally inspirational. The stories of Megan, Michael and Eric, the 21st Annual Courage Award honorees, are no different. I’m truly honored to be a part of the Courage Award program and humbled to be in the same room with these recipients. When faced with the unpredictability of life, the 2014 Courage Award recipients show the kind determination we all should be so lucky to have when were faced with life’s biggest challenges.” - James E. Neal Jr – president Tempe Sports Authority Foundation.
