Mission 500 hosted its annual awards ceremony during ISC West to recognize individuals and organizations for service, philanthropy and community engagement. The event, held at The Bridge on the show floor, honored leaders dedicated to supporting children in need across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
Fredrik Nilsson, vice president of the Americas at Axis Communications, received the 2026 Mission 500 Humanitarian Award. The honor recognizes individuals in the security industry who demonstrate an exceptional commitment to charitable causes. Nilsson, a founding member of the Mission 500 board, was cited for his leadership in initiatives such as Axis Community Day.
The Corporate Social Responsibility Award was presented to RX Global. The company was recognized for its RXCares program, which provides employees with dedicated volunteer time to support various fundraising and community impact efforts.
The Chairman’s Award, now in its second year, was presented to two individuals for their behind-the-scenes support of the charity. Honorees included Jeffrey Eichenlaub, executive director at Serve All NY, and Phil Leverette, CEO of ECT Fire & Security.

"While there is no one right way to give back, the people and organizations recognized here set an example of service we can all learn from," said Jason Lutz, chair of Mission 500.
