WWE has been honored with an award for its Covid-19 awareness campaign in partnership with Americares. The two companies have been in partnership since 2007 for various public health and awareness campaigns, including the Be a STAR bullying prevention program and UNICEF Kid Power school visits. For the coronavirus pandemic, WWE has sold numerous face masks and neck garters in support of Americares, and their efforts were rewarded at the recent Cynopsis Digital Model D Awards.
