HWH Public Relations

HWH has over 25 years of experience working with and promoting charities and non-profit organizations. In addition to offering national PR coverage, HWH services have included everything from hosting summit meetings and organizing candlelight marches to arranging gala fundraising events and auction items to securing high-profile honorees and celebrity emcees and entertainment. Most recently, HWH helped secure former President Bill Clinton's attendance at the Samsung's Four Seasons of Hope charity luncheon in NY.

SAMSUNG'S FOUR SEASONS OF HOPE - Samsung's Four Seasons of Hope is an innovative national charity program that raises funds and awareness to benefit children and families. Sponsored by Samsung Electronics America, the year-round program partners four superstar athletes and their foundations (Magic Johnson - The Magic Johnson Foundation; Joe Torre - The Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation; Arnold Palmer - the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children & Women; and Boomer Esiason - The Boomer Esiason Foundation) with four key retailers (Best Buy, CompUSA, RadioShack, and Sears). Established in 2002, the charity has already raised over $1 million dollars to help children and their families.

RESTORE AMERICA - HWH was in the driver’s seat when HGTV (Home and Gardens Television) and The National Trust for Historic Preservation joined forces to raise funds and awareness for a select group of historic sites, which need restoration in order to take their rightful places among America’s treasures. HWH kicked into high gear for this great cause, convincing 12 Hollywood A-list celebrities to lend their faces, voices and time to the vast programming effort at HGTV. HWH helped the national trust manage its organizational message and helped HGTV organize its celebrity shooting schedule. And of course, HWH is promoting the cooperative fundraiser.

BRIGGS & RILEY DESIGN FOR A CURE AUCTION - Briggs & Riley, a leader in innovative, high-quality travelware, has been a longtime supporter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (JDRF) in its mission of finding a cure for diabetes and its complications. The company created the Briggs & Riley Design for A Cure initiative as a fun and unique way to further its support of the JDRF. More than 20 top celebrities personally decorated a piece of Briggs & Riley luggage that will be auctioned online to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Participants include: Morgan Freeman, Kelly Ripa, Ray Romano, Jackie Mason, Tony Hawk, Jim Belushi, Leah Remini and many more in the name of charity. The celebrities have all added their personal touch to Briggs & Riley's 22" Baseline Carry-On Uprights® with distinctive artistry, decorative crafts, autographs and priceless memorabilia.

CABRINI MISSION FOUNDATION - When the venerable Cabrini Mission Foundation needed to secure high-powered honorees, a master of ceremonies and star-power entertainment for its annual "Spirit of Cabrini" black-tie, fund-raising gala, it turned to the expertise of HWH. The Cabrini Mission Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting programs and institutions in 15 countries that provide healthcare, education and social services to women, children, the elderly and immigrants. It's annual awards dinner honors those who represent the Cabrini mission of caring and help from the heart.

Utilizing its powerful and long-standing contacts in the business and entertainment worlds, HWH set out to find the perfect "Spirit of Cabrini" honorees for this prestigious event and came up with two who will be honored not only for their accomplishment and hard work, but also their vision, leadership, and providing a promise for the future:

* Jeff Zucker, President of NBC Entertainment, who is being acknowledged for his active participation in good works such as the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, National Children's Alliance, and The Help Group

* Hal Compton, President of CompUSA, who has been a participant in philanthropic organizations and efforts during his entire professional lifetime, including the Advisory Board of the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children & Women, ComUSA's Angel Tree, Leukemia and Carter Blood Care, and City of Hope, an innovative medical institution.

HWH also enlisted a number of heavy-hitters to lead the is year's Cabrini Mission Foundation Honorary Committee, including Martin Sheen, Tyne Daly, Tim McGraw, Miramax CEO Harvey Weinstein, Fisher Price CEO Neil Friedman and many other names from the business, sports and entertainment communities.

For entertainment, HWH lined up a start-studded roster including writer and actor Charles Grodin, who will be the Master of Ceremonies, and Tony Award nominee Melissa Errico who will perform at the gala event.
