10 Ways to Help Arnold Celebrate His 68th Birthday Today!

At last, the time of high adventure is here! Let’s all get ready for a fun-filled day of Arnold celebration for our favorite hero’s 68th birthday! Born on July 30th, 1947, Arnold was raised since birth in the small town of Thal, near Graz, Austria, to quickly grow in size and power as the world’s greatest body-builder, gym and fitness motivator, most badass action hero movie star, environmental activist, Governor of California, and then made a comeback as action hero legend in films such as Escape Plan and Terminator Genisys (estimated to soon reach at least 450 million in the worldwide box office). With countless titles, awards and trophies under his belt, Arnold Schwarzenegger now also holds the record for most on-screen kills with 566! 

Today we honor Arnold Schwarzenegger for not only his accomplishments of his past but also for the good we know he’ll bestow at age 68 upon his fans, After-School programs, fitness followers and communities in need. Best of all, this should be the year Arnold makes his ultimate cinematic comeback in The Legend of Conan! So If you require some party ideas, we’ve come up with a list of 10 ways to help you celebrate Arnold's 68th birthday!

10. Give something BACK! Arnold likes to GIVE BACK more than he likes to receive. So if you too want to adopt his great giving-back policy, why not help support Schwarzenegger’s favorite after-school program: After-School All-Stars! Not only will your donation go to a great cause, you’ll be entered in a contest to win great prizes like a chance to Blow Shit Up with Arnold! Go to Omaze.com/Arnold!

9. Visit Arnold’s museum! Arnie’s Life! What better way to celebrate the life of Schwarzenegger than to visit Arnold’s early childhood home, now turned museum. Tons of movie props, furniture antiques and original barbells are all on display for the fans! If you go, tell them theArnoldFans sent you! Among other merchandise, Arnie’s Life will be selling 68 anniversary small Oak Trees for 30.00. The name of the purchaser will be written on a tablet of honor in the museum and each Oak Tree sold will have its own certificate!
