Annual Awards Dinner

The annual Awards Dinner is the single event at which the Foundation recognizes individuals and organizations that have made major contributions to the field of sleep. It attracts thought leaders, scientists, researchers and industry executives as well as physicians attending the annual Sleep Health and Safety Conference. The Awards Dinner serves as a national platform for which National Sleep Foundation recognizes individuals and organizations that have contributed to the sleep and health fields, and announces its major educational and public awareness campaigns. Funds raised by the dinner support the National Sleep Foundation's ongoing public education and awareness programs throughout the year.
