About the Hoodie Awards
Created in 2001 by Steve Harvey & producing partner Rushion McDonald, The Hoodie Awards recognize the countless contributions and dedication of the everyday men and women who are the backbone of their neighborhoods, working together as independent businesses, churches and more to nurture and strengthen their communities. Always a packed event, the Hoodie Awards is an event that the superstar entertainer and New York Times best-selling author looks forward to hosting every year, saying “In tough times and even in good times, it can be difficult for independent businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive, and these individuals continue to be beloved in their community for everything they do teaching the kids, inspiring their congregations, and enriching the neighborhood with their hard work and expert service.” Harvey adds, “I am blown away and humbled by the throngs of men and women who come to enjoy Vegas and support each other at the Hoodies every year, and I am grateful for the supporters, celebrities and performers who help make these celebrations unforgettable and cheer on everyone’s special accomplishments.”
