NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2026 / FedEx and longtime supported nonprofit, Orbis International, have been named "Best of the Best" at the 2026 Halo Awards, the highest honor presented by Engage for Good to recognize outstanding corporate-nonprofit partnerships that prove purpose and business can go hand in hand.
The award celebrates Delivering Sight Worldwide, a decades-long collaboration that combines FedEx's global logistics and aviation expertise with Orbis's mission to improve access to eye care around the world.
Powering the Flying Eye Hospital
At the heart of the partnership is the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital-a fully accredited teaching hospital onboard an aircraft. The Flying Eye Hospital delivers advanced eye care to underserved communities while training local ophthalmologists, nurses, and biomedical engineers to ensure lasting impact.
For more than 40 years, FedEx has helped make this work possible. From donating the aircraft itself to providing global logistics, aviation expertise, volunteer pilots, and ongoing maintenance, FedEx plays a critical role in ensuring Orbis teams-and life-changing eye care-can reach people who need it most.
Sight That Transforms Lives
Beyond restoring vision, Delivering Sight Worldwide opens doors to education, employment, and fuller participation in daily life. As Orbis leaders have shared, restoring sight doesn't just change what patients see-it changes what's possible for them, their families, and their communities.
This holistic impact is what set FedEx and Orbis apart among the 2026 Halo Award honorees. Selected from 28 gold and silver winners across 14 categories, the partnership was recognized for its scale, longevity, and measurable global health impact.
Recognition from the Field's Highest Honor
Now in its 24th year, the Halo Awards are widely regarded as the highest recognition in corporate social impact. Winning "Best of the Best" underscores the strength of a partnership built on shared purpose, operational excellence, and long-term commitment.
Together, FedEx and Orbis continue to demonstrate how logistics can be a force for good-and how enduring collaboration can help deliver sight, opportunity, and hope worldwide.
