The event, scheduled for July 15 in Los Angeles, will also see couple Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe honored with the Muhammad Ali Trailblazer Award.
Of the milestone, Robinson Peete said that her heart is filled with “immense gratitude and pride” as she shouted out donors, volunteers and all that have helped on their philanthropic journey. Specificially, she noted the significance of naming an award after the late Avant.
“Jacqueline was like a second mother to me, as well as my philanthropic mentor. She and her husband Clarence were founding donors to get HollyRod started and supported us unwaveringly for the entire 25 years,” she continued. “We will never stop speaking Jacqueline’s name or honoring her legacy. We are also so thrilled to honor Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe, as well as several other Parkinson’s and autism champions, at the DesignCare Gala.
