Presented by the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports and the Michigan Fitness Foundation, the Governor’s Fitness Awards (GFA) recognize communities, organizations, and individuals who inspire healthy choices. Nominated by Michiganders, the GFA finalists are then selected by a panel of judges and announced each spring. This year, GFA finalists were recognized on April 25, 2019, at the morning legislative reception at the Michigan State Capitol, then at the evening gala at MGM Grand Detroit, where the winners in each category were revealed.

LMB is ecstatic to announce that we won the Extraordinary Organization Award. This award honors organizations who provide opportunities for Michiganders of all ages and skill levels to try different forms of activity, develop physical fitness skills, and gain a better understanding of health in a safe and welcoming environment. This honoree offers fun, safe, and innovative physical activity events or programs with no barriers for participation, creating a positive environment for all to pursue a physically active life.

Congratulations to all nominees, your hard work is making Michigan better! Thank you to all involved in the Governor’s Fitness Awards for the award and for putting on a fantastic night to celebrate amazing people and organizations.
