Hopeless & Sub City Receive the NARM Outstanding Achievement Award

Hopeless Records and their non-profit organization Sub City were recently recognized at NARM’s Outstanding Achievement awards held at this year’s annual NARM convention in San Diego. This award follows up Hopeless Records’ receipt of NARM’s Small Entertainment Software Supplier of The Year Award at last year’s convention.

The 1st Annual NARM Outstanding Achievement Awards were created to recognize the new and creative ways member companies are doing business and advancing the industry while acknowledging members’ efforts to be more responsible to the greater community at large. Awards were given in the categories of Business Innovation, Marketing, Packaging, Collaboration, Green and Community.

The Community award, which Hopeless/Sub City shared with Rhino Records, is given to a NARM member company that demonstrates exceptional support of or participation in charitable, philanthropic or other non-profit organizations. Hopeless & Sub City were honored for nearly 10 years of supporting non profit organizations with charitable albums, tours, and events, through which Hopeless & Sub City have raised over 1.8 million dollars for deserving causes. Sub City recently received federal 501c3 non-profit certification and plans on continuing their efforts in raising funds and awareness for charity.

Louis Posen, Founder of Hopeless Records and the Executive Director of Sub City had this to say about the award:
