Audacy has been named a 2021 honoree of The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia by Philadelphia Foundation, in partnership with Points of Light and local partners. Modeled after Points of Light’s national program, The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia provides a standard for corporate citizenship and showcases how employers use their time, skills and resources to drive social impact in their communities and company. This is a first-time regional effort to identify and celebrate civic-minded regional businesses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. The award was announced yesterday.

This announcement follows the publication of Audacy’s first ever Social Impact report, which highlights the company’s efforts in it six pillars of impact: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Civic Education, the Environment, Mental Health, Children’s Health and Veteran and Service Members.
