STORY
We are aware.
Our story is one of positive social impact.
In a world in need of change for the better, just where should that change begin? In today's society, with so many causes that need support, we wondered where to start. It was after an event in LA that we began creating awareness for causes using ties to show support. After all, we're all tied to a cause.
In 2017, the idea began in Hollywood with a 'Gold Tie' event to empower social impact filmmakers with a symbol of support to be worn - a gold tie to represent the 'gold standard' in positive social impact to which these filmmakers held themselves. This led to our 'aha' moment.
Upon leaving LA and heading back to the Midwest, over the course of our flight and a 4 hour conversation, we realized that these ties, these 'symbols of support', could (and should) come in all colors to support all kinds of causes. They should support not just filmmaking but change making. These ties could be more than accessories; they could be symbols, statements and conversation starters to support multiple causes by raising much needed awareness.
It was then and there that Awareness Ties began with a collection of 21 causes for which we raise awareness and funds with our ties through campaigns and events. We are proud to unveil the stage we've built for positive social impact where causes are seen and individuals are heard before a national audience.

FOUNDERS
We are Jack & Allié McGuire.
We founded Awareness Ties with a commitment to ‘give more than get’. We dedicated ourselves to building a company of integrity, with passion and purpose to serve others. We wanted to show each other and the world an example of ‘better living through giving’. We wanted to educate and empower others to be the change they want to see. So, we are doing just that.

TIES
We raise awareness & funds.
As the ‘Official Symbol of Support for Causes’, Awareness Ties™ are designed to raise both awareness for causes and funding for organizations. Each tie comes in a color corresponding to the cause it represents. Designed for men, women and children, these symbols of support are 'zipper ties'. Simply slip it on and zip it up.
The Awareness Ties Fundraising Program™ offers schools and nonprofits an opportunity to raise funds and awareness with profit and purpose. Earn $10 for each Awareness Tie sold, while raising awareness for the cause of your choice with Awareness Ties Programming & Guest Speakers for events and assemblies.

GUIDES
We provide support & resources.
Every cause we represent has its own Awareness Guide™. Unique in design and concept, Awareness Guides are a valuable resource for the general public. Updated annually, each informational guide defines the cause, provides facts and lists resources for getting and giving help with the nonprofit organizations listed.
Awareness Guides are available online. They can be shared and downloaded from the Awareness Ties website. Supported by Corporate Sponsors, Awareness Guides offers a valued benefit with the CSR opportunity provided. At the same time, the guides provide Nonprofit Organizations with recognition as resources.

HONORS
We honor nonprofits.
Beginning in June 2020, Awareness Honors™ will be awarded on a monthly basis to Nonprofits nominated for going above and beyond to create positive social change in each of our 21 cause categories. Each month, selected nonprofits will receive a donation of $3,000 provided by our Sponsors and Donors. They will also be featured in our online publication ‘Honorable Mentions’ with links to their website.
AWARDS
We award positive social impact.
The Gold Tie Awards™ celebrate and support those who set the gold standard in positive social impact in an evening where awards are just the beginning. Live music, performances and celebrities will take the stage alongside honored Nonprofits who are seen and heard, as they are recognized for raising awareness for their cause. Acknowledged will be the work that’s been done, along with the work that lies ahead with funds provided to do just that.
In June 2020, the first Annual Gold Tie Awards will be held in Los Angeles at the historic Theatre at Ace Hotel. Honored will be selected Nonprofit Organizations and Official Ambassadors for the 21 causes currently represented by Awareness Ties. Celebrity Honorees will speak and present awards, accompanied by donations provided by our Sponsors and Donors. Over $600,000 will be donated. The event, in addition to a Gold Carpet Reception preceding the show, will be seen before a live audience of 900 attendees and by an international audience as the evening will be streamed live via KNEKT.tv.
