"This award is a tremendous honor, and we wish to thank the judges of the Stevie Awards for recognizing our dedication to this campaign," said Christine Dunn, president and founder of Savoir Media. "Everyone at Savoir Media felt passionate about this media program because of the impact this disease has on the children – and families – afflicted by it. We want to thank Stan Goldstein and his team for the opportunity to work with them on this important issue, and hope that through their efforts, and those of their colleagues, we can someday succeed in reversing the obesity trend." The program developed by Savoir Media aimed to reach all forms of media ranging from such print publications as Pediatric News and Parents Magazine to broadcast outlets including Chronicle, Boston's award-winning news magazine program on the ABC affiliate WCVB-TV Channel 5. Savoir Media also helped develop a quarterly newsletter entitled, "Building Healthy Lifestyles," that was distributed to pediatricians and some residents in the Greater Boston area, and assisted at trade shows and other public events.
