Announcing the Winners of the 2016 Bulldog Not-for-Profit PR Awards

Hackensack, NJ - (NewMediaWire) - August 2, 2016 -  Bulldog Reporter announces the winners of the 2016 Bulldog Not-for-Profit PR Awards. This program rewards public relations, public affairs, public information and corporate communications excellence along with the ability to achieve extraordinary visibility and engagement and influence opinion.

As with all Bulldog Awards, this program continues the tradition of being the only US-based PR awards program to be judged exclusively by working and award-winning journalists. This year's judges come from a number of different media outlets including National Geographic Traveler, The Washington Post, USA Today, Forbes, and Philanthropy Magazine. As this esteemed list also boasts a Pulitzer Prize winner, it is understandable why the Bulldog Awards hold so much prestige.

Public Relations and communications professionals entered their Not-for-Profit PR campaigns in at least one of the 29 categories. Based on the scores given by the judges, gold, silver and bronze awards are given to worthy candidates in each category. The Grand Prize recipient is selected from a multi-category award winner with the same campaign. All winners will receive the coveted framed award certificate plus all the publicity surrounding this honour. The Grand Prize winner will receive the beautiful crystal bulldog statue. This year, two companies will be presented with this honor, they are, Kaiser Permanente Northern California for their campaign, "Sweet Tweets on MLK Day of Service" and CARE USA for "Special Delivery: Letters of Hope".
