Deep News05-18 22:50

Background and Purpose iHeartMedia and Procter & Gamble have jointly announced the launch of the inaugural "Elton John Impact Award." This award aims to honor pioneers and outstanding allies who have dedicated their lives to inspiring change, shaping culture, and making significant contributions to the LGBTQ+ community. The award also seeks to raise awareness and funds for frontline organizations serving the LGBTQ+ community.

Recipients and Hosting Team The first recipients include actor Jonathan Bailey, actor and producer Laverne Cox, musician Melissa Etheridge, sports icon Billie Jean King, country singer Orville Peck, and pop singer Chappell Roan. The award ceremony will be co-hosted by Tony Award winner Billy Porter and renowned host Elvis Duran, with multi-platinum singer Dove Cameron performing "Your Song" live as a tribute to Elton John.

Program Format and Broadcast Schedule This is the first award ceremony presented in podcast format, featuring candid personal conversations between Elton John, David Furnish, and the award recipients. The special program is scheduled to premiere on June 1, 2026, on the iHeartRadio App and major podcast platforms, with an audio special also airing on the iHeartRadio PRIDE channel.

Charitable Support and Historical Context The event will provide funding to several charitable organizations, including the Elton John AIDS Foundation. This award originated from the 2022 online charity concert "Can't Cancel Pride," launched by iHeartMedia and Procter & Gamble. Over the past five years, the initiative has raised over $17 million for LGBTQ+ non-profit organizations.
