Mark Henry's: The Big Lift

**GET TICKETS HERE**

We invite you to Mark Henry's: The Big Lift, a special event that benefits the U.S. Amateur Weightlifting Foundation (a 501c3 nonprofit). The USAWF is dedicated to strengthening the weightlifting community, from the grassroots to the Olympic Team. This event is an opportunity to show your support for this important mission.

Join us on Friday, May 19th, at Hotel Van Zandt in Austin, Texas for an unforgettable evening. We appreciate that weightlifting is the base of strength for athletes in every sport, and as part of that recognition, we will be celebrating great athletes of all sports, who use weightlifting to ensure their success in their chosen sport. At The Big Lift, we will also award the 2023 Strengthening Humanity Award recipient.

We anticipate more than 200 attendees, including legends from the local Austin community and the world of sports.

Get ready for the “un-gala," at The Big Lift. This inaugural event's casual come-as-you-are vibe means you can forget the bow ties and fancy ball gowns and come ready to have a good time.  So bring your A-game and be ready to go big at Mark Henry's: The Big Lift.

The evening will include a hosted full bar, a fantastic dining experience, and interaction with Olympic and sports greats all while raising money to support athletes already on the Olympic stage and those who hope to be.
