2014 is already starting off to good note for multi-award winning entertainer Jennifer Hudson. The ‘Dreamgirl’ will be honored as this year’s “Favorite Humanitarian” during tomorrow night’s telecast of the People’s Choice Awards airing at 9 p.m. on CBS.
Hudson is being recognized for her work with the Julian D. King Gift Foundation, an organization she formed in 2009 with her sister, Julia Hudson in honor of their slain nephew, Julian King. The foundation works to provide stability and positive experiences for children of all backgrounds so that they may grow to become productive, confident and happy adults, able to be positive influences on their communities, according to a release.
“Thank you for honoring me with the Favorite Humanitarian Award,” said Hudson in a statement. “My sister Julia and I were raised with the belief that helping others was always very important. I am so grateful that the People’s Choice Awards and Walgreens have come together in the same spirit. This spotlight will provide us with the opportunity to share all the amazing work being done by the Julian D. King Gift Foundation for children in the city of Chicago and around the United States.”
Hudson will be present during tomorrow’s show to receive her award.
