New York - A campaign to help overburdened K-12 teachers while burnishing the image and motivating the employees and customers of the Jones Apparel Group won an unprecedented three awards in the fourth annual Cause Marketing Halo Awards competition.

Jones New York In The Classroom received Gold awards in the Best Social Service/Education Campaign and Best National/Local Integration categories and a Silver for Best Print Creative at the June 13 awards program during the Cause Marketing Forum conference.

The Cause Marketing Halo Awards demonstrate the good that can be done when businesses and nonprofits team up ," said David Hessekiel, president of Cause Marketing Forum, Inc., the program's organizer. "It's a competition in which we all win." Cause marketing is the strategy of building mutually beneficial alliances between companies and causes.

"In 1990 cause marketing spending was a bit more than $100 million - this year it is forecast to top $1.3 billion," said Hessekiel. CMFI produces an annual conference, workshops, teleclasses and causemarketingforum.com, a website offering free resources to businesses and nonprofits interested in developing such programs.

The Cause Marketing Forum also announced that The Home Depot and KaBOOM! each received Cause Marketing Golden Halo Awards for their leadership in this fast-growing field.
