YWCA Annual Luncheon with Alfre Woodard!
|
Posted By: Shanene Higgins on October 11, 2008 18th Annual Luncheon with Alfre Woodard! The Annual YWCA Luncheon has earned its reputation as the most powerful non-profit event in the Silicon Valley. It also serves as the YWCA's largest annual fundraiser. Funds are used to support the organization's community programs and services that annually serve more than 24,000 women and families. The Annual YWCA Luncheon is not a ticketed event. Community members attend as guests of Table Captains or event Sponsors. An appeal is made during the event for a suggested donation of $150 per person to support our programs and services. If you are interested in serving as a Table Captain or Annual Luncheon Event Sponsor for our 2008 event, we look forward to hearing from you. MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW! WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29TH FROM 11:30am-1:30pm AT THE SAN JOSE CONVENTION CENTER! Keynote Speaker: Alfre Woodard Ms. Woodard is a highly-acclaimed stage, screen and television actress choosing roles which focus on diversity and align well with the mission of the YWCA of Silicon Valley. She is a four-time Emmy Award winner, a Golden Globe 'Best Actress' award winner, a recipient of the Screen Actors Guild Award, and a two-time ACE Award winner. One such ACE award was for her portrayal of Winnie Mandela in the HBO presentation Mandela, starring Danny Glover. She has worked with such honored actors and directors as Dr. Maya Angelou, Sissy Spacek, Morgan Freeman, Wesley Snipes and Holly Hunter to name a few. Ms. Woodard, along with Danny Glover, Blair Underwood, Mary Steenburgen and others, founded Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA) in 1989. ANSA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating the African AIDS pandemic and advancing democracy and equality in South Africa. ANSA also works to further civil rights and safeguard voting rights in the US. It supports the struggle against apartheid, assists AIDS orphans, and educates and empowers disadvantaged youth. The 18th Annual YWCA Luncheon event will take place on Wednesday October 29th, at the San Jose Convention Center, beginning at 11:30am. With Susie Wilson as the chair of the event this year, it should prove to be an event not to miss!
