One of the more satisfying and successful aspects of Harvey’s professional life, yet strangely attracting little media attention, is the Steve Harvey Hoodie Awards, an annual awards soiree that takes place every August at the Mandalay Bay Casino and Resort in Vegas. The “Hoodies” is devoted to recognizing outstanding non-celebrity contributors to urban America. The awards has blossomed substantially over its 10 years to where the weekend gala attracts nearly 10,000 African Americans from across the country.
