1. What are Goody Awards?

Goody Awards empowers YOU to send Social Good Shout Outs Every Day to friends, family, heroes, organizations and teams by tweeting an award with 3 things in your tweet:

Goody Type – #GoodDeedGoody, #HeroGoody or #Team Goody

#GoodyAwards, @GoodyAwards

PLUS the WHY in you are giving this award

Example Tweet: Social Good #ShoutOut to @StoneSoup_Good for a #GoodDeedGoody #GoodyAwards @GoodyAwards for your stunning necklaces @ #EcoOscars

Why wait for an awards show to recognize social good? Send a thank you as soon as someone does something to make the world a better place. Sure, we’ll have an awards show too, but that is only once a year so send a Social Good Shout Out #GoodyAwards now!

2. Who can give Goody Awards?

Anyone can give one of the 3 main Goody Awards anytime: using #GoodDeedGoody, #HeroGoody, or #TeamGoody PLUS #GoodyAwards in your tweet. While CNN Heroes and other programs recognize Heroes annually, there are many more Heroes and community service contributors among us who deserve a thank you for their endless daily contributions. Give them a Social Good Shout Out with a #GoodyAwards Tweet!

SuperStar Goodys may be a SuperStar of the Month, and/or be defined by a brand to support a cause marketing or goodwill campaign recognizing social good. In the future, users will be able to vote on these special awards that will also have sponsors.

A Golden Goody Award is our top honor, and is considered as an Oscar for social good. These awards may also be sponsored by brand advertisers for campaigns. A Goody Awards Guild has also been set up as an advisory board, and will give these awards. If you have suggestions for award winners, please Contact Us.

3. What is a Good Deed Goody?

Good Deed Goodys are for good deeds. The #GoodDeedGoody awards do not require as much effort as the others, but have great social good value. Examples of #GoodDeedGoodys might include:

– Took you to lunch

– Gave great advice for a new website

– Brought me soup when sick

– Volunteered to work at my event

– Babysat for kids so the parents could have a date night

4. What is a Hero Goody?

Hero Goodys are for anyone who is your herlo and does something extraordinary to help you or others. The #HeroGoody Winners may have put in a lot of volunteer time, and your community service thank you is much bigger than a Good Deed Goody! Examples of #HeroGoodys might include:

– Organized a fundraiser for a charity organization

– Raised money for a charity

– Published a book for a good cause

– Long-term volunteer work for a good cause

– Taught you how to build a website

– Coached you how to do an art (painting, play an instrument)

5. What is a Team Goody?

Team Goodys are similar to Hero Goodys, but let you recognize organizations and teams for their community involvement versus an individual.

The #TeamGoody can tweeted using the company’s Twitter Username @companyname plus #GoodyAwards and #TeamGoody. Examples of #TeamGoodys might include:

– Organized a fundraiser for charity

– Collectively raised money for a charity

– Organized a new company
