Eva Longoria and Lea Michele will be among the honorees of Variety’s annual Power of Women Awards Luncheon in Beverly Hills later this month.
The third annual event will celebrate the Power of Women and their impact on philanthropic and charitable causes. Every year, Variety honors a select group of women in entertainment who, through their efforts, have made a significant difference to their chosen causes. 400 invite-only guests made up of Hollywood insiders and A-list talent come to celebrate, support and pay tribute to the philanthropic efforts of these amazing women. Variety’s philanthropy bazaar provides an interactive area for guests to engage with the participating brand sponsors and the featured charities. The goal of Variety’s Power of Women is to inspire and encourage women from all walks of life to get involved, give back and make a difference.
Also being honored at the event are Annette Bening, Olivia Wilde and Stacey Snider.
“The goal of Variety’s Power of Women is to give voice to the philanthropic and charitable causes closest to our Lifetime impact Honorees’ hearts and to utilize the influence of the entertainment community to generate momentum for these same causes,” said Variety Vice President and Associate Publisher Michelle Sobrino-Stearns.
Past events in 2009 and 2010 have honored Christina Applegate, Christina Aguilera, Maria Bello, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Garner and many more.
The awards luncheon takes place on September 30 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
