Once again, HBO and their staff went above and beyond to celebrate Spirit Day and take a stand for LGBTQ youth against bullying!
The HBO staff went purple with custom purple shirts that were distributed to 750 employees in New York City, Hauppauge, Seattle, and LA. And this year they even added pom-poms, taking an aerial photo of the staff making HBO go purple.
Happy #SpiritDay from our team to yours.
