“Step Up Women’s Network – Inspiration Awards”
May 21, 2010
Last Friday I attended a beautiful luncheon at the Beverly Hilton. It was the 7th Annual Inspiration Awards from the “Step Up Women’s Network“. My friend Ali Brown invited me along with her team of women. This is an event that happens when community insiders, entertainment leaders and Step Up supporters gather to celebrate philanthropy and the importance of connecting and advancing women and girls.
The awards luncheon is held annually in the heart of the entertainment industry. The Inspiration Awards gathers Los Angeles’ movers and shakers to honor those who embody the Step Up mission of service to women and girls. It is Step Up’s most anticipated afternoon of the year. The event includes a red carpet reception, luncheon, luxury handbag silent auction, and an awards program honoring a celebrity and an industry executive who have provided opportunities for women and girls to create a better futu

There were three women being honored with Inspiration Awards. They were Jennie Garth – actress and advocate, Sonya Rosenfeld – Co-Head of television Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and Kim Martin – President and General Manager of WE tv and Wedding Central.
Although it was really entertaining to hear these women speak, my favorite part was to listen to the high school girls recite their lively and energizing poetry. WOW – is all I can say! There were also three other students celebrated. They shared their stories of what they overcame, how Step Up empowered them, and what they did to earn their college scholarships! I was completely inspired by these young women. It was so exciting to see they are about to embark on a whole new chapter in life
, college.
Step Up Women’s Network is a fantastic organization
that I am looking forward to being a part of. It is a national, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to connecting and advancing women and girls. By bridging communities of professional women and undeserved teen girls through mentorship, networking and advancement, they ensure women and girls have the opportunities they need to create a better future.
