ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses also partnered with Teen Choice 2011 to present the "ACUVUE® Inspire Award," to actress Demi Lovato in recognition of her work with the Jed Foundation's Love is Louder movement. The group is spreading the message that love and support are more powerful than voices that bring people down, cause pain and make them feel hopeless. By using her celebrity positively, Lovato inspires teens to give back and strive to attain their goals, proving that one day everyone can achieve their dreams.
