Love the Moment™ named finalist for two 2025 Halo Awards!
February 28, 2025
Autism Speaks and Wilson Sporting Goods' "Love the Moment" initiative has been recognized as a finalist in not one, but two prestigious categories at the 2025 Halo Awards: Best Cause Product Initiative and Best Disability Initiative.
The Halo Awards, the highest honor for corporate social impact initiatives, celebrate the outstanding work that businesses and organizations do to make a difference in their communities.
This recognition is a testament to the impact of "Love the Moment," a collaboration between Wilson Sporting Goods and Autism Speaks that fosters acceptance, inclusion, and understanding for people on the autism spectrum. What began as an employee-driven cause has evolved into a company-wide movement, engaging athletes, customers, and specialty retailers while reshaping culture within Wilson and the broader sports world.
The Love the Moment collection empowers athletes of all ages and abilities, along with their families, to publicly support the autism community through their sports equipment. By leveraging Wilson’s global influence in sports and Autism Speaks’ unwavering commitment to increasing understanding and acceptance, the initiative has shifted the culture both on and off the playing field.
Together, we are using the power of education, awareness, and storytelling to foster inclusivity in sports. Being named a finalist for two Halo Awards is a true honor and a reflection of the dedication and passion behind this initiative.
Stay tuned as we continue to celebrate and build on this incredible journey. Let’s keep changing the game—together.
