"Thank you for honoring me with the Favorite Humanitarian Award. My sister Julia and I were raised with the belief that helping others was always very important. I am so grateful that the People's Choice Awards and Walgreens have come together in the same spirit. This spotlight will provide us with the opportunity to share all the amazing work being done by the Julian D. King Gift Foundation for children in the city of Chicago and around the United States," stated Hudson.

Walgreens, the official retail sponsor of THE 40TH ANNUAL PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS, is once again presenting the award for Favorite Humanitarian in conjunction with the company's purpose to help people get, stay and live well.
