Girls Inc. honored five special women at a luncheon hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Shaun Robinson on Wednesday, November 18. Over 600 leaders, entertainers and philanthropists gathered at the Beverly Hilton to honor Holly Robinson Peete, Gelila Assefa Puck, Lynne A. Segall, Shelley Zalis, and Cyma Zarghami for their influential roles in providing more opportunities for women and girls. Notable guests including Julie Bowen, Rosanna Arquette, Tia Mowry, Wolfgang Puck and Frank Gehry turned out to support the cause at the hotel’s International Ballroom. During the fundraiser, A Girls Inc. National Scholar partnered up with each of the five women to speak about how the honorees achievements have driven them in their own lives. The $700,000 raised from the luncheon—$75,000 of which was given in the room alone—will aid Girls Inc. in its expansion to create more life changing experiences across the U.S. and Canada.
