Rich Gaspari Awarded the Ben Weider Lifetime Achievement Award

On Saturday August 8th, 2009 as the bodybuilding community gathered in Tampa, Florida for the annual IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships, the evening included the presentation of the 2nd Annual Ben Weider Lifetime Achievement Award.

Last years recipient IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Chris Dickerson was on hand for the presentation, along with Dan Solomon, Bob Cicherillo, Rob Wilkins, and event promoter Tim Gardner.

With the blessing of IFBB Pro League Chairman Jim Manion, this years recipient was Rich Gaspari. A 2004 inductee into Joe Weider’s Bodybuilding Hall of Fame, Gaspari’s achievements on and off stage have helped inspire others, much the same as the man for whom the award was named.
