Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The sentence requires a reason for why the person doesn't want an award.
The preposition "for" should be followed by a gerund ("helping") when indicating the reason for an action.

The verb "help" is a transitive verb here and takes a direct object ("you") without needing a secondary preposition like "to".

Therefore, "for helping you" is grammatically correct.
