POPPYN receives PhillyCAM IMPACT Award

On March 29th, 2012,  POPPYN was honored with the 2nd Annual PhillyCAM IMPACT Award for an organizational member.   PhillyCAM's IMPACT Awards acknowledge the exceptional work of members who create programs that inspire Philadelphians to improve the quality of their communities.

The POPPYN team received the award at PhillyCAM's Annual Member Meeting at the Philadelphia History Museum. The crew is incredibly honored by PhillyCAM's recognition of our commitment to and evolution in creating an innovative, engaging and authentic outlet for youth representation in Philadelphia. PhillyCAM has been a tremendous supporter of the show for the past two years - through consulting, distribution, training and hosting POPPYN events. It's a strong and wonderful partnership, and the IMPACT award is an official declaration of that mutual respect.
