The NAB Leadership Foundation celebrated the winners of the 2024 Celebration of Service to America Awards on Tuesday night at The Anthem in Washington, DC. These prestigious awards recognize the exceptional community service efforts of local radio and television stations across the United States.
Hosted by Bonneville International and Hearst Television, the gala highlighted the significant contributions of broadcasters in public service, community campaigns, and philanthropic initiatives, underscoring the NABLF’s commitment to honoring the impactful work that local broadcasters undertake nationwide.
Attendees were entertained by singer and songwriter Chris Barron, best known as the lead singer of Spin Doctors.
