The Happiness Hall Of Fame is a 501c3 non-profit that recognizes special people that have advanced the cause of happiness throughout the world. The hall was founded to celebrate and encourage incredible people and organizations that make other people happy.
The hall honors notable philanthropists, athletes, authors, teachers, coaches, business leaders, artists, job creators, entertainers, charities, organizations, doctors, innovators and people that inspire. Honorees will have an opportunity to walk the red carpet with their family, mentors, coaches and friends at The Stanford University Faculty Club. The award winners will give an entertaining speech about the challenges they overcame to make the world a happier place. These inspiring speeches are videotaped and placed on the web, so their wisdom can be shared with the world.
