The annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards celebrate influential voices across music, film, media, politics, and the creative industries.
The Hollywood Cares Impact Awards is the foundation's signature annual fundraising event, bringing together leaders from entertainment, business, sports, philanthropy, and the community to celebrate individuals whose leadership is creating lasting impact.
More than an evening of recognition, the Impact Awards fuels the work of Hollywood Cares by supporting I AM READY, our flagship youth development initiative. Every sponsorship, ticket purchase, auction bid, and contribution helps create opportunities for young people to lead, grow, and succeed.
Funds raised through the Impact Awards help Hollywood Cares:
The Impact Awards is more than our signature event; it is an investment in the next generation of leaders. Together, we are helping every young person confidently say, “I Am Ready.”
For a lifetime of achievement that has forever changed the world for the better.
For an individual vital to moving the culture forward — a voice for the people.
For those who face the world unafraid and unapologetic, with resilience and tenacity.
For a recipient who has defied the odds and emerged, like a phoenix, on top.
For an individual who transformed a genre of entertainment through longevity and consistency.
For using one's platform to fight for change and give a voice to the community.
For one who has blazed a path for others, transcending industry norms to impact culture.
