This year’s Nickelodeon HALO Awards honorees are:
- Grace Callwood, 12, Abingdon,
Md. – Grace Callwood was diagnosed with cancer at the
age of seven. After gaining weight from the chemotherapy, she
donated her brand new back-to-school clothes to two girls who had
recently lost everything in a fire. This act of kindness
inspired Callwood to start the We Cancerve Movement, Inc., an
organization that creates activities to bring happiness to
homeless, sick and foster children through events and donated
goods. Through the efforts of nearly 2000 volunteers, We Cancerve
has been able to help over 3,700 kids in need.
- Jonas Corona, 13, Long Beach,
Calif. – Jonas Corona was inspired to help others
after meeting a homeless kid his own age on Los Angeles’ Skid
Row. Corona started his own organization, Love in the Mirror,
which provides disadvantaged youth and their families with basic
necessities such as food, clothing and learning
materials. Over 45,000 homeless people have been impacted by
the organization’s fundraising and donation efforts.
- Lillian Pravda, 16, New York,
N.Y. – After undergoing several surgeries to correct
a cataract, Lillian Pravda learned that not every child in need of
eye care is able to receive it. Pravda initially started
Vision for and from Children to help comfort young patients in a
pediatric surgical unit, but soon grew it into an organization that
supports children across the globe by providing access to
sight-saving surgeries and vision services.
- Chris Suggs, 16, Kinston, N.C.
‐In response to the rising crime rate and education problems in
his hometown, Chris Suggs created Kinston Teens, Inc. to help
provide local youth with civic and community service opportunities.
Over 1300 kids have participated in Kinston Teens projects to date,
which include street cleanups, voter registration drives, mentoring
programs and a youth leadership summit.
2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards will also feature appearances by
stars from Nick’s hit series The Thundermans and School of Rock.
During the special, the fan-favorite stars will help raise money
