ANTONIO, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Operation Homefront, a nonprofit whose mission is to
build strong, stable, and secure military families, has recently
been recognized nationally as a 2024 Digital Awards winner by
PRNEWS and a Halo Award finalist by Engage for Good for two
campaigns aimed at bettering outcomes for military service members,
veterans, and their families.
"We are immensely proud to be listed among
so many other innovative and influential companies and
organizations successfully engaging with audiences to increase
awareness of their products and priorities," said Brig. Gen. (ret.)
John I. Pray, CEO of Operation
Homefront.
Operation Homefront was named a 2024 PRNEWS Digital Awards
winner in the Fundraising Campaign category for its 11 Days of
Impact campaign coinciding with Veterans Day, which was designed to
ensure that military families, who have given so much on behalf of
all of us, are supported in their own time of need. The campaign
raised awareness about Operation Homefront resources and programs
that support military families, celebrated the organization's
corporate partners, and raised nearly $900,000 during the timeframe. PRNEWS is a leader
in the communication industry for education, inspiration and
recognition, and each year, their distinguished awards program
recognizes the most innovative and industry-altering digital
communicators and campaigns.
In addition, Walmart's Spark Good Round Up campaign with
Operation Homefront was a finalist for Best Consumer Donation
Initiative of Engage for Good's annual Halo Awards. That effort
garnered $3.2 million dollars for
Operation Homefront as Walmart matched customer donations 2:1 when
customers donated to Operation Homefront at checkout on
Walmart.com. The campaign ran October 23
through November 30 of last year. Engage for Good empowers
corporate and nonprofit professionals to create mutually beneficial
social impact partnerships and their Halo Awards are the highest
recognition for outstanding corporate social impact initiatives
that intertwine their resources to have a measurable impact on the
cause and the business.
"We are immensely proud to be listed among so many other
innovative and influential companies and organizations successfully
engaging with audiences to increase awareness of their products and
priorities," said Brig. Gen. (ret.) John I.
Pray, CEO of Operation Homefront. "This recognition by
PRNEWS and Engage for Good speaks to the unwavering commitment of
our Operation Homefront team and the value of our partnerships.
Together, we're affecting real change for the very special and
deserving community we serve: our nation's military families."
