The Housewares Charity Foundation (HCF) is launching a new award category — “Rising Star” — recognizing up-and-coming professionals who are bringing innovation to the industry and are committed to making a positive difference in the world.
As many as five HCF “Rising Stars” will be honored at the Housewares Charity Foundation’s annual gala on Monday, March 3, 2025, during The Inspired Home Show in Chicago. The annual HCF gala brings together leaders in the housewares industry to celebrate excellence and philanthropy. The “Rising Star” award reflects the foundation’s commitment to fostering future leaders who are dedicated to doing good both in business and in their communities, according to HCF.
“We are thrilled to introduce this new award,” said Ron Diamond, HCF executive chairman. “Our industry is full of talented, passionate individuals who are using their creativity to not only grow their businesses but also to make meaningful contributions to society. This award allows us to shine a light on those shaping the future.”
The nomination process for the “Rising Star” award is now open. Candidates can self-nominate or be nominated by peers, mentors or industry leaders. Submissions will be accepted through January 23. Winners will be announced by February 14.
