There are many phenomenal award shows which recognize some of the greatest and most gifted celebrities out, but on November 14, 2014, a very unique award show made its way to the Big Apple, NYC to honor kids who “HALO” – ‘Help and Lead Others’. The magnificent and mesmerizing 2014 Nickelodeon HALO Awards took place on November 14, 2014 at New York’s Pier 36 and there was a special vibe in the atmosphere that made the event absolutely indescribable and so magical. The HALO Awards “…is an annual awards show that recognizes real-life kids that are doing extraordinary things in their communities and “Helping and Leading Others” (HALO). In addition to being awarded a grant for their organization and scholarship funds, each HALO Awards honoree is given an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and connect with celebrities that share their same passion for service” (source: press release). The 2014 Nickelodeon HALO Awards will premiere on November 30, 2014 at 7:00 PM ET/PT on Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons and for the first time ever, Nick.com and the NickApp.
Anyone who was at the 2014 Nickelodeon HALO Awards can agree that the night was just exceptional. The remarkable event was hosted by the genius himself, an individual who is so admirable and brilliant that he truly needs no form of introduction, the one and only Nick Cannon. Nick Cannon is not only a multi-threat being a stupendous film star, comedian, musician, writer and executive producer, but he also serves as an incredible role model himself exemplifying what it is like to be a person who “Helps and Leads Others”. Nick Cannon supports organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Toys For Tots, and STOMP Out Bullying to name a few. Nick Cannon stated, “We’re taking over New York City with the hottest music performers and the most awe-inspiring kids for one huge night at this year’s Nickelodeon HALO Awards. The HALO Awards embodies the altruistic spirit of the holidays with its positive message and I can’t wait to celebrate the terrific work of these young heroes”.
Many remarkable musical performers, HALO celebrity participants and Nickelodeon stars attended the fantastic event and showed NYC what it really is like to be “The City That Never Sleeps”. Musical performers included Fifth Harmony, Echosmith, Nick Jonas, Meghan Trainor, The Roots, and The Vamps. Celebrity attendees included Matt Bennett, Benjamin Flores JR., Jack Griffo, Victoria Justice, Kira Kosarin, Sydney Park, Carlos Pena Vega, Fatima Ptacek, Leon Thomas, Breanna Yde, and Zendaya. These outstanding celebrities plus the wonderful honorees made the night one to remember and unforgettable.
