May 18, 2022 /CSRwire/ - Campaigns that educated and mobilized thousands to get vaccinated, used NFTs to inspire and engage younger fundraisers, and helped break down barriers to unemployment – all while building stronger businesses - were among the initiatives honored at the 20th annual Halo Awards.

Twenty category-specific winners were selected out of more than 120 entries by Engage for Good at its annual conference in Atlanta, GA.

In addition, Ace Hardware and The Trevor Project each received a Golden Halo Award, Engage for Good’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 Golden Halo Award winners can be found at http://engageforgood.com/halo-awards

“With the world facing such enormous manmade and natural crises, Halo Award-winning campaigns remind us of the tremendous positive impact companies can have in combatting societal problems,” said Engage for Good President David Hessekiel.

Give The World A Shot, a partnership between UNICEF and Expedia Group and its family of brands – including Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo, Orbitz, Travelocity, Hotwire, ebookers and CheapTickets  – was named the “Best Of The Best” honoree, an award sponsored by social impact agency For Momentum.

For Momentum’s President & Founder Mollye Rhea commented, “Each year the Best of the Best Halo Award recognizes a campaign that demonstrates excellence and best practices in social impact partnership engagement. Among a competitive field of over 120 Halo applications, the Give the World a Shot partnership between the Expedia Group and UNICEF was a standout! Addressing the important issue of global access to COVID-19 vaccines, the Give the World a Shot campaign raised awareness of vaccine equity, engaged Expedia Group’s customers and employees, and raised over $10.5 million to support the life-saving delivery of over 5 million COVID-19 vaccines around the world. For Momentum sends a huge congratulations to both organizations for your successful campaign and the impact it made in this vitally important mission space.”
