Every year, the NAB Education Foundation (NABEF), the philanthropic arm of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), hosts the Celebration of Service to America Awards honoring the outstanding public service commitment of local television and radio broadcasters.

This annual black-tie gala fundraiser, attended by broadcast industry leaders, philanthropists, government officials and members of the press, has been listed in BizBash’s Washington Top 100 Events for several years in a row.

They decided to produce an event in Washington, D.C. that highlights the outstanding community service that radio and television stations provide across the country every day.” Says Alexander, “By having it in Washington, members of Congress can see firsthand the great work being done for and by their constituents. What’s even more special is that we often have the members of Congress, who represent the districts and states of the station winners, co-present the awards. This recognition is well deserved! The winning stations are further honored by their Congressional members and FCC Commissioner participation.”
