Step Up Women's Network will host its annual Inspiration Awards gala, celebrating the 10 year anniversary of our nonprofit organization. We will be honoring outstanding leaders who have made a tremendous impact in making resources available to women and girls in our community. This year, our honorees include long-time supporter and former board member Kelly Rutherford (Actress, Gossip Girl), founding NY board president Lisa Shotland (Creative Artists Agency), and The Dove Self Esteem Fund for their support of our teen girls. Our host for the evening will be Veronica Webb (host of "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style" and former Victoria's Secret model).The Inspiration Awards gather the New York elite and Step Up members to celebrate philanthropy and the importance of cultivating a new generation of women leaders. This year's event will be held at the exclusive IAC headquarters, designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry. The evening includes a cocktail reception, a seated dinner, an awards ceremony, performances by our teen girls, a silent auction, and a wine tasting event. We expect over 600 guests to join us for this special evening.I haven't seen Rachael Lee Cook in quite some time. I'm so used to her with the dark hair that it took me a minute to register that the above picture was her.WENN




We've talked about adopting. We have looked into a couple of countries. I don't think it's going to happen this year, but in the next five. I know that I have a lot to give emotionally, and if I can put a roof over a child's head, he or she is going to be a lot better off. It's the right thing to do."

"With medical technology these days, I could have children by myself using a donor. But I would rather be in a relationship so the child has a father to help instill core values. If it's meant for me to have children naturally, I absolutely will. I love kids, I really do. And kids love me. I'm so open to the idea of adoption. But, again, I would like to be able to share the raising of the children."
