Huron receives Excellence in Social & Community
Investment Award for third consecutive year
Global professional services firm Huron (NASDAQ: HURN) today
announced that it is the recipient
of Consulting magazine’s “Excellence in Social &
Community Investment Award” for the firm’s 2015 “Wishes in Flight”
campaign. The campaign supported the Make-A-Wish® Foundation –
which helps grant the wishes of children diagnosed with a
life-threatening medical condition – through the donation of
airline miles from Huron employees.
“We embrace a culture of commitment to the communities in which
we live and work, and our employees continue to give back in
creative and compassionate ways,” said James H. Roth, chief
executive officer and president of Huron. “Working with the
Make-A-Wish Foundation allowed us to make a difference to so many
at once. We are humbled by Consulting magazine’s recognition of our
efforts to make these wishes a reality.”
The firm’s initial goal of 250,000 employee-donated miles was
doubled after receiving nearly that many miles the first week of
the month-long campaign. The total 1,286,000 miles Huron employees
donated helped Make-A-Wish grant more than 25 wishes.
Huron issued a new challenge to employees to surpass its 2015
performance in 2016. Once again, Huron employees have exceeded that
goal, donating more than 1.4 million miles.
Huron received the same Consulting magazine honor for its work
with Test Positive Awareness Network (TPAN) and for its Annual Day
of Service in 2015 and 2014 respectively.
