Honda was honored with the T1D Corporate Champion of the Year Award Saturday night for its support of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (JDRF), and because its long-standing support for the communities where associates work and live demonstrate the company’s commitment to making the world a better place.

Honda shares JDRF’s commitment to the health and well-being of young people and supports the organization’s dream of taking the disease from Type 1 to Type None.

Steve Morikawa, American Honda Vice President of Corporate Relations & Social Responsibility, accepted the award on the company’s behalf, at the JDRF Imagine Gala in California. In addition to receiving the award, Honda also donated a 2018 Accord EX-L that was raffled off at the event to support JDRF’s fundraising efforts.
