The donation of the entry fees serves as a way for AHR Expo and its Co-Sponsors to ‘give back’ to the community in which the Show takes place. To date, more than $100,000 has been donated to a variety of charitable organizations across the country. Last year’s recipient, Metropolitan Family Services of Chicago, received nearly $12,000.

“We are pleased that the Innovation Awards have become such a valuable and prestigious honor for the HVACR industry,” said Clay Stevens, President of International Exposition Company, which produces and manages the AHR Expo. “Not only do the awards recognize the various innovations in the industry, but they also benefit charitable organizations in local communities.”
