AWMF Announces ‘Gracies Day Of Giving’
• The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF) is proud to announce the inaugural Gracies Day of Giving on Friday, July 26, in honor of the birthday of the namesake of the Gracie Awards, the late Gracie Allen (pictured). This special day is dedicated to raising funds that directly impact the foundation’s mission of creating positive change in media by producing educational programs, recognition events and scholarships that benefit students pursuing careers in media.
Gracies Day of Giving provides an opportunity for longtime and new donors to give one-time donations and make a lasting difference in the lives of aspiring female media professionals. Funds raised on this day will enable the AWMF to continue its tradition of students participating in the Gracies Leadership Awards Fellowship program and attending the event.
“We are thrilled to launch the Gracies Day of Giving as a way to honor Gracie Allen’s legacy and support the next generation of women in media, especially as we begin planning for the 50th anniversary of the Gracie Awards,” said Becky Brooks, President of AWMF. “Generous donations will allow us to continue offering vital resources and opportunities to young women who are poised to make significant contributions to the media industry.”
The Gracies Leadership Awards, happening Nov. 19 at Tribeca 360° in New York City, celebrate the profound influence women have made in the media industry, while also inspiring and empowering the female leaders present. Through the funds raised on Gracies Day of Giving, AWMF will be able to provide students with networking and educational opportunities by connecting with industry trailblazers.
