WASHINGTON D.C. — The CHPA Educational Foundation’s 6th Annual Gala, held on November 17, drew 230 people representing 60 companies to a hybrid event with in-person and virtual components.

The event was held live from the Pando Studio in Ambler, Pa. with an in-studio audience and 100 virtual attendees shown on a video wall. There was also a live watch party hosted at the Emerson Group Studio in Wayne, Pa., with event sponsors and the boards of CHPA and the CHPA Educational Foundation.

The gala is held each year to recognize the critical vision, mission, and consumer-focused work of the CHPA Educational Foundation: to help people live happier, healthier lives through responsible self-care. One of the highlights of this year’s event program was the 2021 U.S. Self-Care Marketing Awards, which recognize the strategic innovation and marketing expertise of CHPA member companies in both the over-the-counter (O-T-C) medicine and dietary supplement industries.

With more than 50 entries received, a judging panel of nine independent experts narrowed the field to 21 finalists whose work was honored at the event.

“The award finalists demonstrate how our industry has championed creativity and innovation during these challenging times,” said CHPA Educational Foundation managing director Mary Leonard. “Through purpose-driven and corporate social responsibility initiatives, to new product launches, to multicultural and inclusive marketing campaigns, we were thrilled to showcase best-in-class examples that demonstrated a commitment to serving the consumer through an inspiring, resilient lens.”

The awards were presented by CHPA Educational Foundation Board Members Elizabeth Karvonen of the Emerson Group, and Yvette Baez from Google, Inc. The volunteer awards judging panel included representatives from CVS Health, UWG, Salutem, Might & Matter, FCB Health NY, Cardinal Points Consulting, PinneyAssociates, LifeStyles Healthcare, and Wunderman Thompson.
