The Fourth Annual Shorty Social Good Awards were handed out at Current at Pier 50 in New York Thursday evening.
This year’s Impact Honoree recipient is Andrew Rea, who was recognized for his YouTube channel, Binging With Babish.
The Shorty Awards said in an email, “The Shorty Social Good Awards primarily focuses on brands, agencies, organizations and nonprofits using the social and digital media space to positively impact people all over the world in numerous ways. But we realize that there are also individuals, such as creators and influencers, who use their platforms for good.”
On the winner, it continued, “In these episodes, the self-taught chef connects with his impassioned fan base, helping them in a variety of ways including raising money, donating his time or encouraging his audience to live a healthier and happier lifestyle. It’s so special when a creator takes advantage of the connective powers of social media to positively and personally impact the lives of their fans.”
