Bennett Awards recently created a new custom awards design for the New York AIR Society, and organization that supports National Jewish Health, the nation’s #1 respiratory hospital. Bennett Awards developed this unique custom awards design for the New York AIR Society’s Irving Borenstein Memorial Award for Distinguished Leadership.

For this distinguished recognition award, Bennett Awards created a custom designed clear crystal tower approximately 12” high. Inside the crystal tower are opaque crystal 3D images of floating balloons, one of symbols used by the AIR Society. These 3D balloons are suspended inside the crystal tower, creating a dramatic, 3D effect. The crystal tower also features customized engravings of the award name, recipient name, date of presentation, and the AIR Society’s logo. This unique crystal tower is mounted on a black marble base.
