Today, Allen & Gerritsen announced that its philanthropic community initiative Mobile Stü: Black With Blue, which brought together inner-city youth and Boston Police officers to create mutual respect through rap music and was led by employee Mike Boston, was named a finalist in the Shorty Social Good Awards.

The prestigious awards program honors the social good initiatives brands, agencies & nonprofits are taking to make our world a better place. While the Shorty Awards have long-honored the best of social media, this competition includes efforts made by organizations to improve sustainability and diversity internally, foster globally-minded business partnerships and increase employee community and civic engagement.

Mobile Stü: Black With Blue will compete in the Social Justice category, with the winner announced at a ceremony in New York City on November 15.
