Looks like we need to add another award to WWE’s list of accolades.
Earlier this week, WWE was presented with the ESPN League Humanitarian Leadership Award at the fourth annual Sports Humanitarian Awards. Stephanie McMahon, Roman Reigns and Charlotte Flair were all in attendance, with Reigns accepting the award on behalf of the company.

WWE has posted an article regarding the award, and had the following to say about their accomplishments in the field of Humanitarianism:
WWE helps to address and provide support on important social issues worldwide, including diversity and inclusion, education, military and bringing hope to critically ill children. In 2017 alone, WWE generated 3.1 billion impressions, held 237 events in the community and donated more than $25 million in media value to its community partners.
As a result of this honor, ESPN will be making a $50,000 charitable contribution to both Connor’s Cure and Special Olympics on behalf of WWE.
This is not the only awards ceremony that Charlotte Flair has been a part of recently; she also presented an award at 2018 ESPY awards earlier this week.
Editor’s Opinion:
I think that this is a wonderful thing. It’s no secret that WWE does a lot of work for charities around the world, and giving back to the community is something that they do very well! Congratulations to the company on this wonderful honor!
