Sammy will be presented with the Humanitarian Award for the efforts made under the Hagar Family Foundation, a non-profit organization, created by him and Kari, that aims to get funds and food to charities and those in need as quickly as possible, striving to reduce the amount of red tape throughout the process. Speaking about receiving the Humanitarian Award, Sammy exclaimed, "It's always exciting to receive an award. But this one is extra special. To be recognized for something you truly love doing and in front of an audience of your peers, doesn't get any better than that!" Sammy will be one of three icons to receive a special award, with the Courage Award going to Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and the Lemmy Award presented to Rob Halford.
