Campaigns that taught first responders to serve people with dementia, inspired young people to recycle clothing and led to the adoption of thousands of shelter animals  -- all while building stronger businesses -- were among the initiatives honored at the fourteenth annual Cause Marketing Halo Awards.

Twenty category-specific winners were selected out of more than 100 entries by the Cause Marketing Forum at its annual conference.

In addition, Safe Kids Worldwide and JetBlue each received a Cause Marketing Golden Halo Award, CMF’s highest honor, for their long-records of achievement at the intersection of profit and purpose.

Case studies of each winning campaign and profiles of the Cause Marketing Golden Halo Award winners can be found at causemarketingforum.com/halo2016.

“Once again Halo-winning campaigns rose to the top by effectively communicating cause-related messages while measurably building a better world and the bottom line,” said Cause Marketing Forum President David Hessekiel.
