Extraordinary Families, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the
lives of children and families in child welfare, hosted its
second annual Awards Gala, April 26, 2017 at the Beverly Hilton
Hotel, Beverly Hills. |
|
The
evening honored award-winning director, writer and producer Lee
Daniels with the Visionary
Award; NBC’s hit show “This Is Us” executive producer Jess
Rosenthal and creator and executive producer Dan Fogelman with
the Luminary Award;
the late legendary music manager and philanthropist Howard
Kaufman with the Champion
Award; and foster
parents Kim Kopp and Lisa McFann with the Sylvia
Fogelman Founder’s Award. |
|
The evening featured special performances by India Carney (The
Voice) and Haley
Reinhart (American

member Brooke Kaufman Halsband chaired. Extraordinary Families
was formed in 2015 following the merger of two robust
nonprofits: Southern California Foster Family and Adoption
Agency (SCFFAA) and Child Welfare Initiative (CWI). |
|
Both organizations were well-established,
innovative nonprofits in Southern California that shared the
vision of improving the daily lives and long-term outcomes of
children impacted by the child welfare system. For more
