    Awards are wonderful, but the real reward is seeing lives changed through the stories we help bring to light. We’re pleased to share that two of our films earned Gold MarCom Awards for 2025 — "Henry Street" and "Impact," which both debuted at the Robin Hood Big Benefit in May. Now “Henry Street” is a Finalist for Humanitarian Action & Services in The Anthem Awards AND in the running for the Anthem Community Voice Award, which is determined by public voting. The film tells the story of the Quezada family, Lower East Side residents who have used the Henry Street Settlement services for five generations. Please help us take it even further and vote for “Henry Street” here: https://lnkd.in/guUia9C6 Out of the 60+ awards we’ve received over the years, stories like these remind us of how grateful we are to do this work, amplifying voices that matter and resonate with audiences globally. #AnthemAwards #RobinHood #HenryStreet #Community
