Get Comfortable Gets National Recognition

On October 29th, the United States Chamber of Commerce announced Creature Comforts as a winner of the 25th Annual Citizens Awards in Washington D.C.—a long-standing program honoring companies nationwide for their leadership in solving the world’s biggest challenges. We were awarded the Best Community Improvement Program—alongside other finalists, including Johnson Outdoors and the PNC Financial Services Group—for the development of an innovative early literacy intervention via Get Comfortable.
