Rick Wiedemer Guiding Light Award
Created in 2017, The "Guiding Light Award" recognizes lighting industry individuals and companies who have demonstrated consistent and enduring efforts to support and fund basic science cancer research to find a cure for cancer.
The Award is presented annually at the Goombay Bash to an individual or company who exemplifies the leadership qualities that will guide others towards a brigher future in which no one will suffer the hardships of this horrible disease. Honorees serve as H Foundation Ambassadors within the Lighting Industry and continue their excellent work in the fight against cancer.
The late Rick Wiedemer, former CEO of Hinkley and a nearly 20-year supporter of The H Foundation, was honored with the 2022 Guiding Light Award at the 20th Annual Goombay Bash.
Rick’s generosity, leadership, and tireless support helped grow The H Foundation’s impact within the Lighting Industry. His commitment to funding basic science cancer research was rooted in one simple belief: “For everyone.”
In recognition of his legacy, the award has been renamed the Rick Wiedemer Guiding Light Award, honoring his enduring influence and selfless dedication to the fight against cancer.
