Harvey started the Hoodie Awards in 2001 as a way to honor the
nation's best small businesses, educators and community leaders in a
variety of categories for their contributions to the areas they
serve. Categories include best high school, car wash, soul food
place, nail shop, barbershop, fried chicken, high school teacher,
barbecue place, beauty salon, church, church choir and community leader.
Hillshire Farm became a sponsor in 2007. Always committed to community
involvement, the brand looked to demonstrate its commitment to
bringing great food to the African-American community.
"Hillshire Farm is delighted to be a sponsor of both the Hoodie Awards
and the Freedom Friday Party, helping bring glory to the nation's Best
Soul Food Place," said Tim Roush, vice president lunch and dinner,
Sara Lee North American Retail.
