Shaw Industries Group, Inc. (Shaw) and the Shaw Cushion Program for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have been named the 2022 Halo Award Silver winner in the Consumer Activated Corporate Donation category by Engage for Good.

For every square yard of cushion sold through the program, 18 cents is donated directly to St. Jude – nine cents from Shaw that’s matched by the retailer when the consumer upgrades their cushion purchase.

On behalf of all of Shaw, we are incredibly honored to be recognized as a 2022 Halo Award winner.”

The Halo Awards are North America’s highest honor for corporate social impact initiatives that showcase outstanding consumer engagement or employee engagement efforts. This marks the 20th year that Engage for Good has rewarded businesses and nonprofits with Halo Awards for doing well by doing good.
