Among Arnold Palmer’s lasting impacts, the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation specifically is dedicated to continuing the philanthropic legacy of Palmer and his family.
Arnold Palmer’s hometown of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, has changed a lot over the years since Arnie was born, but one piece of it will remain the same thanks to Arnold Palmer’s first wife, Winnie Palmer.
When the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies opened in 2006, it marked a milestone for healthcare in the Southeast.
Shortly after 1997 got underway, Arnold Palmer was told that he had prostate cancer. After a moment of disbelief, shock, and anger, Palmer’s old self kicked in and he decided to fight it head-on.
There are a number of stories as to how the phrase “Arnie’s Army” was coined, but all of them describe the same thing: one of the greatest groups of fans in the history of sports.
Arnold Palmer once again exhibited his go-for-it "live your best life" style and jumped on the upright bass to accompany track legend Jesse Owens, who was behind the drum kit.
“We can do better than this,” Arnold said. “We should do better than this, for the children of our community.”
