TeenNick’s HALO Awards
Written by Violet on December 11, 2009 – 8:39 pm -
Nick Cannon is hosting some amazing teens tonight for TeenNick‘s HALO Awards. HALO stands for ‘Helping and Leading Others’ and this generous group understands that reaching out is an everyday occurrence, not just at the holidays. Justin Timberlake, LeBron James, Alicia Keys and Hayden Panettiere suprised the four teens honored by their efforts and handed each a silver baton award. Cannon gave each a check for $10,000 to continue their efforts and a matching check to continue their education. The four winners were:
- Leah Stoltz, 17 for Curvy Girls of Long Island – a support group for people with scoliosis.
- Darrius Snow, 18 for working with kids in tough areas using sports as an outlet.
- Megan Kilroy, 17 for her environmental and community activism.
- Brryan Jackson, 18 for HIV/AIDS outreach and education.
Congratulations to all the recipients.
Did you catch the show? I thought it was great. I hope they do it again next year with more teens who are so inspirational.
