PAX / Real Solutions to Gun Violence is proud to announce that our partner, The N, has received a Beacon Award for a Public Service Announcement it produced and aired featuring the 1-866-SPEAK-UP hotline after an episode of its hit show, "Degrassi: The Next Generation."
The award, in the "Community; Video Promotion or PSA; Cable Network II" category, was one of 11 for MTV Networks, which has been one of PAX's biggest supporters through the years.
Winners were presented Tuesday night at the JW Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The Beacon Awards honor excellence in public affairs throughout the cable industry, recognizing achievements in the areas of public relations, community outreach, customer service, education and government affairs.
Look for the Degrassi Season 3 box set on Tuesday and the Season 4 DVD, featuring the school shooting episodes that inspired the PSA, later this year.
