The New York Women’s Foundation’s Celebrating Women® Breakfast is New York City’s premiere women’s empowerment event, bringing together over 2,100 women acting as change agents in their communities, and supporters who help to ensure that over $6 million in grants can be provided to the 80 community-based, women-led, non-profit organizations throughout New York City in 2015. This year’s Celebrating Women Breakfast honors Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi—Co-founders of #blacklivesmatter; documentary filmmaker and social justice advocate, Catherine Gund; and Roberta Kaplan, the Supreme Court litigator who successfully argued against DOMA in the U.S. vs. Windsor case. These women are being recognized for their social activism and for significant achievements that have influenced the lives of women and girls.
