These awards are more than just an honor; they are a reflection of the real-world impact happening across the .ORG Community – a theme throughout all these videos, which were produced by our partners at Sugarman Productions. These initiatives were created to shine a light on the tireless work of organizations and individuals driving positive change, and these award-winning videos are a testament to their passion, resilience, and purpose. At PIR, we are proud to be a part of their journey and to amplify their voices on a global stage. This recognition will continue to fuel our commitment to supporting and celebrating those that are making a difference – one .ORG, one mission, and one story at a time.
