Grammy and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson has been chosen to receive the 2nd annual People’s Choice Award for Favorite Humanitarian because of her work with the Julian D. King Gift Foundation. Hudson and her sister Julia created the charitable organization in 2009 in honor of their nephew. The Julian D. King Gift Foundation “works to provide stability and positive experiences for children of all backgrounds so that they may grow to become productive, confident and happy adults, able to be positive influences on their communities.”
The People’s Choice Awards 2014 air live from the Nokia Theater L.A. on CBS at 9pm ET (tape delayed on the west coast), January 8, 2014.
“Thank you for honoring me with the Favorite Humanitarian Award. My sister Julia and I were raised with the belief that helping others was always very important. I am so grateful that the People’s Choice Awards and Walgreens have come together in the same spirit. This spotlight will provide us with the opportunity to share all the amazing work being done by the Julian D. King Gift Foundation for children in the city of Chicago and around the United States,” stated Hudson.
Walgreens sponsors the award and will be donating $100,000 to the Julian D King Foundation.
