The 'Purposed, Produced' campaign is an initiative of SixDegrees.org, which was founded in 2007 based on the principle that 'everyone is in need of connection,' according to its website.
'Our work centers on youth empowerment, justice and equality, and improving a sustainable living environment,' the site states. 'We listen to and prioritize the lived experiences of communities that are commonly underserved and under-resourced.'
SixDegrees.org selected Dumas Wesley for its 'measurable and transformative impact in the Mobile and Baldwin communities,' according to a news release.
Dumas Wesley's selection represents 'a game-changing opportunity to amplify its mission and broaden its reach on a national scale,' the center's officials said in a statement.
Winners will be announced in New York City during National Advertising Week, which takes place from Oct. 6-9.
Industry leaders will choose five winners. People can cast their vote for the 'People's Choice' finalist.
Voting is currently open through Friday, June 6.
