The A Team Cares True Grit Award
Through our A Team Cares Nonprofit Practice, we support philanthropic organizations that strengthen communities and create meaningful impact. In 2025, we created The A Team Cares True Grit Award to recognize a nonprofit organization that exemplifies resilience, creativity, grit, and commitment to service. We were proud to present the first annual True Grit Award to Howie’s Heart, a Long Island, New York, family-run 501(c)3 non-profit.
Founded to honor their father’s legacy of compassion and service, Howie’s Heart brings children, teens, and families together through thoughtfully designed volunteer experiences that spread kindness and build connections. Their work supports vulnerable communities while creating inclusive opportunities for families of all abilities to give back side-by-side. Through shared experiences for its participants, Howie’s Heart helps foster empathy, confidence, and a lasting sense of belonging.
