The Coro Public Affairs Award is symbolized by a Crystal Eagle and is presented to those who exemplify excellence in effective leadership and dynamic community involvement. Their achievements demonstrate that, whether as an individual or on behalf of an organization, one can make a difference for the public good – a premise that lies at the very heart of Coro.

The other three recepients this year were Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Jack Steiny and Sheriff Lee Baca.

From one of USA Today’s articles from last night’s Hollywood Hero Award gala, click the link above to read the whole article:

(Geena’s) personal heroes include Susan Sarandon, “a great mother and actor,” and her Tootsie co-star Dustin Hoffman, “who took me under his wing and was a mentor in every way.” Her childhood hero was her aunt Gloria. “She wore chic clothes, worked in Boston, drove a convertible and wore her hair in a French twist. She died when I was 18. So probably more than anyone I wish she were here tonight.”

Geena’s article is found under the “Feminist” section.

Last, year, Geena, along with Commander In Chief creator Rod Lurie, was the proud receiver of an EPIC Award for the contribution to the enhancement of the perception of women as leaders through pop culture. This year, Geena will be a presenter at the same event. EPIC 2007 will be held at The American Museum of Natural History, NYC, Wednesday, April 18th. Billie Jean King will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award; while Sheila Nevins, President of HBO Documentary Films will be recognized for conceiving of the EPIC Awards; Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck will be honored for “Shut Up & Sing” and KeKe Palmer and Nancy Hult Ganis will receive an award for their contribution to the production of “Akeelah and the Bee.” More at the White House Project website.

“Geena Davis, star of “A League of Their Own” charmed the crowd and paid tribute to King because “she bucked centuries of accepted practice” in her fight for equality in sports and society.” Read the full report at the Out in Hollywood blog, there is also an interesting article in the Daily News.
