A New Way of Life Reentry Project was one of three charities selected by GBK Productions to attend a celebrity gifting lounge on the weekend of the Emmy awards. The event was held at the W Hotel in Hollywood. Susan Burton and members of the Board of Directors of ANWOL got a chance to meet celebrities and spread the word about the work we do helping women coming home from prison.
Some of the celebrities we met include Jason Isaacs, Anthony Anderson, Kathryn Joosten, Niecy Nash, Cloris Leachman, James Woods, Joe Mantegna, Mayim Bialik, Janina Gavankar, Randee Heller, Jim O’Heir, Jordan Bridges, and Nia Peeples. Many of them expressed interest in our work in our upcoming gala “Catching Falling Stars.” Stay tuned to our event website to find out which celebrities plan to attend, perform, and present awards to our honorees.
