Nominations are being accepted through Feb. 17 for two awards from the Women’s Philanthropy Society of Cabell Huntington Hospital.
The Christie Kinsey Focus Award and the Kitty Hage Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented at the 16th annual Women’s Philanthropy Society’s annual luncheon on Saturday, March 4 at the Guyan Golf and Country Club. These distinctive awards honor Tri-State women who exemplify the heart, strength and compassion of women.
- The Christie Kinsey Focus Award: honors achievements in volunteerism, pioneering in women’s health, community service, professional achievement and home and family. The 2016 recipient was Tamela White.
- The Kitty Hage Lifetime Achievement Award: is presented to an individual whose life’s work has been dedicated to humanitarian efforts. The award is designed for someone who has not sought recognition for her deeds, but has worked solely to better her community and the quality of life for others. The 2016 recipient was Norma Gray.
“The annual Women’s Philanthropy Luncheon affords women an opportunity to gather together and honor women who are making a positive impact in our community,” said Christie Kinsey, founding member of the Women’s Philanthropy Society at Cabell Huntington Hospital and chair of the Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation Board. “Every dollar donated to the luncheon supports women’s and children’s causes at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Each gift combines with others to create a larger gift, enabling everyone to be a philanthropist.”
In 2016, the Women’s Philanthropy Society of Cabell Huntington Hospital donated nearly $30,000 to provide the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center with chemotherapy comfort chairs.
