The New York Women's Foundation Creates 'Power and Possibility' at the 2025 Annual Celebrating Women® Breakfast
Event raised over $1.2 million to support community-led grantmaking, fueling grassroots solutions advancing gender, racial, and economic justice
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, May 21, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- The New York Women's Foundation (NYWF) gathered more than a thousand advocates, partners, and supporters at the New York Marriott Marquis for its 2025 Celebrating Women® Breakfast. This year's event centered on a powerful theme: 'Together, we create power and possibility.'
The annual Breakfast raised over $1.2 million in vital funds to support the Foundation's community-led grantmaking, which fuels grassroots solutions advancing gender, racial, and economic justice throughout New York City and beyond.
Ana L. Oliveira, President and CEO of The New York Women's Foundation, reminded attendees of the collective strength at the heart of the Foundation's mission: 'The Foundation will continue in the discipline of hope, in the commitment of determination, focus, and possibility. We're going to come together because it is important to show that our acts of generosity and solidarity matter,' said Ana L. Oliveira, NYWF President and CEO.
The Celebrating Women® Awards honored individuals and organizations who exemplify how shared action can shift power and unlock possibility:
Fran Drescher, actor, author, and founder of Cancer Schmancer, was honored for her bold leadership in health advocacy, labor rights, and civil liberties. Now President of SAG-AFTRA, she has spearheaded efforts like The American Music Fairness Act and The CROWN Act.
'The more we practice empathy, the better the world will be. All the woes of the world connect to a lack of empathy and a heightened irrational attachment to greed. This has to be flipped if we want to survive,' she said.
Jacqueline Woodson, acclaimed author and founder of BALDWIN FOR THE ARTS, was recognized for her visionary work in literature and support for artists of the Global Majority.
'All we are trying to do is to make this world safer so that people can walk through it in their whole lives. We are gender-expansive people, we are women, we are activists, and we are doing this work to keep this world safe even as folks wake up every morning trying to figure out how to make this world unsafe for us,' Woodson said.
ERA Coalition and the Fund for Women's Equality (ERA Coalition Forward) received honors for building a national movement of nearly 300 partner organizations working across racial, gender, labor, LGBTQ+, and reproductive justice—amplifying shared efforts to enshrine equality in the U.S. Constitution. Zakiya Thomas, President and CEO of the ERA Coalition, accepted the award alongside Carol Jenkins, Carolyn Maloney, and Jessica Neuwirth—demonstrating the power of multi-generational collaboration for long-term change.
New Yorkers for Equal Rights, a coalition of over 500 organizations, was recognized for its advocacy to pass the New York Equal Rights Amendment (Proposal 1), which expands and strengthens anti-discrimination protections in the state's constitution. Sasha Ahuja accepted the award alongside coalition leaders Donna Lieberman, Robin Chappelle-Golston, and L. Joy Williams—showing the strength of a broad, united front for justice in New York.
The Vision Award was presented to JPMorganChase, recognized for its steadfast commitment to building inclusive pathways to opportunity and equity. When accepting the award, Michelle Henry, East Region Executive for Community Engagement in the Office of Corporate Responsibility at JPMorganChase, said:
'The strength of our business is linked to the vitality of our communities. Our investments in the people and places we serve show that our business is stronger when opportunity is accessible for all.'
The Foundation also honored its 2024–2025 community partners, with special acknowledgments of The Brooklyn Economic Justice Project and The Informed Consent Coalition for their intersectional leadership and community-based solutions.
Board Member and Steering Committee Co-Chair Lola C. West reflected on why she continues to champion The Foundation's mission: 'I have fallen in love with The Foundation because they are true visionaries and can see the problems and figure out the solutions before the city, country, or world see it.'
Fellow Board Member and Steering Committee Co-Chair Victoria Chu Pao added:
'Investing in our future is most powerful when we at The New York Women's Foundation fund collective action work.'
The event also featured presentations from Foundation Board Members Mary Baglivo and Danielle Moss Cox.
Notable Attendees included: Ana L. Oliveira, Jacqueline Woodson, Fran Drescher, Adrienne Adams, Anne Delaney, Michelle Henry, Devika Gopal Agge, Carrie Malcolm, Zoran Mamdani, Sasha Ahuja, Donna Liberman, Zakiya Thomas, Carol Jenkins, Carolyn Maloney, Antonique Smith, Jean Shafiroff

The Best Wheated Bourbon In America-According To The 2025 IWSC
Pouring whiskey from bottle into glass on wooden barrel against black background, closeup One of the more interesting developments in the American whiskey landscape is the slow rise of "Wheated Whiskeys/Bourbons." Known for delivering a softer and rounder flavor, they are starting to get attention. While certainly not a new style of whiskey, distillers have been producing whiskey with wheat in Kentucky since the early 1800s, and it is gaining popularity as drinkers seek innovation and flavor. Much like its cousin, the fledgling American Single Malt category, wheated whiskeys can become the next hot bottle. First, a quick primer for the uninitiated: What exactly is a wheated whiskey? In the simplest terms, it's a bourbon or American whiskey where wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain in the mash bill. That might sound like a minor tweak, but it has a profound impact on the final product. While rye typically delivers a spicier, peppery kick, wheat tends to impart a softer, sweeter, and often creamier mouthfeel, bringing forward notes of caramel, vanilla, and sometimes fruit or baked goods. The 2025 International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) just announced the results in their Wheated Bourbon Whiskey category, and it's clear these aren't just easy drinkers; they're top-tier bottles helping to shape the future of American whiskey. One bottle landed on top, bringing home a Gold Outstanding medal by scoring 98 points, and five others were awarded Gold Medals for scoring 95 points or higher. All highlight the fantastic possibilities for the Wheated Whiskey category moving forward. Here is a brief recap of all six bottles and the judges' tasting notes for each. Look, Maker's Mark built its empire on wheated bourbon, so for them to drop their first pure wheat whisky is a big deal. This 2025 inaugural release technically isn't a bourbon, as it does not contain corn in the mash. Still, the IWSC decided to categorize all wheated whiskeys together this year as bourbons. That being said, this is a bold bottle from Maker's Mark that any bourbon lover should grab. It shows that Makers Mark is not afraid to strip it down and explore new territory in grain flavor, even utilizing regenerative farming. It scored 98 points, and it is the Gold Outstanding winner in the category and, as such, the champ. It is also in the running for the IWSC's Whisky Trophy that will be awarded in November to the overall best bottle in the competition. Here is what the judges had to say about it: Attractive brown sugar, floral, and chocolate-covered papaya aromas, leading to a palate of cooked apple, cinnamon, and black tea. Warming with a long finish. Rock Town Distillery, located in Little Rock, Arkansas, has been focused on producing affordable products using local ingredients since 2010. They use grains sourced from nearby farms and barrels from a local cooperage. They keep winning awards, so they must be doing something right. Their Bourbon Y'all Whiskey is a test product that is not yet available to the public. Still, after seeing how well it performed at the IWSC, hopefully, they will put it into production soon. Here is what the judges had to say about it: A delightful aromatic display of vanilla and blood orange oil, underpinned by roasted coffee and a hint of earthiness. The rich palate reveals complex layers of marzipan, cedar, and baking spices, culminating in a lingering, sweetly spiced finish. Devine. If you haven't heard of Frank August, don't feel bad; it's a smaller distillery launched in 2022 with the express purpose of producing high-quality bourbon that pays homage to the past while pushing boundaries. Their Case Study release line has garnered immense interest in the industry and has been raking in awards. Each one delves deeply into a specific aspect of the bourbon landscape and strives to produce the finest expression possible. Past bottlings have experimented with double oaking, rye, and cask finishing. Their latest, Frank August Case Study: 05 Wheated Reserve 5 Barrel Batch, already took home a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition to sit alongside its Gold medal from the IWSC. It's a prime example of where Wheated Bourbons could be heading. Here is what the judges had to say about it: Scents of maraschino cherry, orange, and vanilla give way to flavors of white peach and hay. Now to a big player, Heaven Hill Distillery Grain To Glass Traditional Barrel Series Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey. Heaven Hill is a powerhouse, a family-owned legacy since 1935, known for surviving infernos and stocking the world's second-largest bourbon inventory. Their "Grain to Glass" series, launched in 2024, which includes this wheated bourbon, is all about transparency, tracing grains back to local farms and showcasing a higher wheat content. Each bottle lays out the story of the liquid contained inside in clear language, allowing drinkers to delve into the effect that terroir can have on finely crafted whiskeys. It's yet another bottle that highlights the possibilities of this emerging category. Here is what the judges had to say about it: Rich leather mingles with black cherry sweetness and orange peel on the nose. The palate unfolds with a delightful balance of cooked pineapple, Brazil nut, and toffee. A robust, textured, and warming bourbon. O.H. Ingram River Aged Whiskey has leaned into an unusual method for crafting its whiskeys. Drawing on their family's five-generation history of operating barges and tugboats on the Mississippi River, they age their whiskeys on a floating rickhouse on the Mississippi River. The constant motion and unique climate exposure accelerate maturation, enabling more interaction between the barrel and the juice. Their Uncharted Kentucky Wheated Bourbon Whiskey is not yet available to the public and appears to be a test project. Let's hope it is in the market soon. The judges loved it. Here is what they had to say about it: The bouquet sings with juicy jam aromas interlaced with floral honey, maple, and oak spice. A mouthwatering palate reveals a harmonious blend of marzipan, cinnamon, and vanilla, finishing with a creamy, chocolatey warmth that lingers delightfully. Finally, Wilderness Trail Distillery Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey. These guys in Danville, Kentucky, are bona fide pioneers. They're famous for their "sweet mash" process and boast one of the highest wheat-to-corn ratios in the state. And get this: they were the first to release a Bottled-in-Bond wheated sweet mash bourbon after Prohibition. That tells you everything about their dedication to quality and adherence to strict standards while pushing boundaries. It's no surprise this bottle brought home a Gold Medal from the IWSC. Here is what the judges had to say about it: A vibrant aromatic display of orange skin, nectarine, and peach Melba. The palate reveals rich sultanas and apricot fruit, alongside creamy vanilla. Earthy roasted coffee, cedar, and hints of nutmeg lead to a delightful finish of warm spice and cherry.

Biggest concerts, comedians coming to Tampa Bay in July, August, September
This week marks the official start of summer, and along with the already-ongoing summer movie season, you can see blockbuster entertainment on stages throughout Tampa Bay over the next few months. Katy Perry, Kesha and BTS member Jin are just some of the pop stars set to visit the area over the summer months. Pop music a little too cheerful for you? Perhaps we could interest you in the Swedish metal stylings of Ghost, industrial rockers Nine Inch Nails, and reunited emo/goth group My Chemical Romance. There'll also be big names in R&B, country, rap and other genres, as well as stand-up comedy. Here are the biggest concerts and comedy shows set to visit the greater Tampa Bay area from July, the first full month of summer, to September, the season's conclusion, listed in chronological order. Event details are subject to change. 75-plus things to do in June in Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Punta Gorda Summer movie guide: Top films hitting theaters and streaming from May to August 2025 Ticket Newsletter: Sign up to receive restaurant news and reviews plus info on things to do every Friday July 12; Amalie Arena, Tampa; The Grammy-winning Swedish metal band known for wearing elaborate costumes onstage continue to tour following the release of this year's "Skeletá," their first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. Don't expect to take any photos of said costumes, however, as Amalie Arena's website notes the show "will be a phone-free experience," with phones to be held in Yondr pouches. July 12; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre; Rising to fame with their 1994 Epitaph Records album "Smash" — which went six-times-platinum and became one of the most successful independent label releases of all time — The Offspring returned to an independent label after years signed to Columbia Records with their 2021 album "Let the Bad Times Roll" and 2024's "Supercharged." They play with two other staples of '90s/'00s pop-punk: Jimmy Eat World and the Coral Springs-formed New Found Glory. July 18-19; Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater; The third annual, two-day jazz and R&B music festival features a lineup including Brian McKnight, best known for his 1999 hit "Back at One"; Peabo Bryson, singer on the Grammy and Oscar-winning Disney songs "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World"; and saxophonist Dave Koz. July 19; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre As captured in the 2024 HBO rock doc "Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary," yacht rock remains a divisive topic, including which musical acts can accurately be categorized as such. Judge for yourself when two of the biggest names in the ongoing debate perform together: Toto, whose music was introduced to a new generation when Weezer covered their songs "Rosanna" and "Africa," and opener Christopher Cross, whose No. 1 hit "Sailing" arguably exemplifies the whole yacht rock concept. Fellow '80s hitmakers Men at Work ("Down Under," "Who Can It Be Now?") also perform. July 19; Amalie Arena The singer and TV star will commemorate the 20th anniversary of her 2005 debut album "The Way It Is" on tour, joined at Amalie Arena by fellow R&B singers Tink, Amerie (who recently appeared on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series) and Elijah Blake, who has also written for numerous other musicians including Cole. July 20; The BayCare Sound, Clearwater; The rock band rose to fame in the '90s with songs such as "Mr. Jones" and albums including 1996's No. 1 record "Recovering the Satellites," scored an Oscar nomination in the '00s with their track "Accidentally in Love" for "Shrek 2," and continue to release music today, including this year's full-length "Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!" Fans of Bruce Springsteen should show up early to see the opening act, New Jersey band The Gaslight Anthem. July 20; Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Event Center, Tampa; First rising to fame as frontman for the '90s rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, Darius Rucker not only went solo but switched up genres as he went on to become a country music star. Hootie & the Blowfish has reunited in recent years, even releasing the new album "Imperfect Circle," but it's Rucker's solo career that brings him to Hard Rock Tampa. July 25; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre While the rapper known for Top 5 albums such as 2018's "Zoo" and 2020's "Shake the Snow Globe" tops the show's bill, arguably the bigger name is guest Big Sean, who has multiple No. 1 albums including 2015's "Dark Sky Paradise" and 2017's "I Decided." R&B singer and Miami native Sabrina Claudio will also perform. July 25; Amalie Arena R&B singer Keith Sweat will celebrate his 64th birthday with this concert also featuring the groups SWV (whose song "Use Your Heart" was recently sampled by Kendrick Lamar on his track "Heart Pt. 6") and Dru Hill, and singers Joe and Ginuwine (best known for his hit "Pony," memorably used in the Tampa-set "Magic Mike" movies.) July 26-27; Amalie Arena A member of the hugely popular K-pop group BTS, Jin completed his mandatory South Korean military service last year and released his debut solo EP "Happy." Now shortly after releasing his second EP "Echo" earlier this year, the singer is heading out on his first solo world tour that includes two dates at Amalie Arena — one of only four venues he's currently scheduled to play in the U.S. Aug. 2; Raymond James Stadium, Tampa; Despite pleading guilty to felony assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, R&B singer Chris Brown has remained popular enough to headline Raymond James Stadium on his Breezy Bowl XX stadium world tour. Brown was recently arrested again on a grievous bodily harm with intent charge, though his bail conditions allow him to continue his current tour dates. Aug. 3; The BayCare Sound, Clearwater The country musician with nearly two dozen No. 1 country hits to his name, including 10 consecutive No. 1 singles from 2005 to 2009, will perform with Walker Hayes (best known for his 2021 Grammy-nominated No. 1 country hit "Fancy Like") and Alexandra Kay. Aug. 10; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre Here's an interesting double-bill: Kesha, who rose to fame with No. 1 hits such as "Tik Tok" and "We R Who We R" but has taken a more idiosyncratic approach in recent years (her 2020 album "High Road" featured bounce musician Big Freedia, late Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson and country singer Sturgill Simpson); and glam pop group Scissor Sisters, who recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their 2004 self-titled debut, featuring their disco cover of "Comfortably Numb." Aug. 13; Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Event Center Aerosmith guitarist and Sarasota resident Joe Perry has more time on his hands since that band announced its retirement from touring, so he's back performing with his other, namesake group. He'll be joined by fellow Aerosmith members Brad Whitford and Buck Johnson, as well as Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes and Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz of Stone Temple Pilots. Aug. 14; Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Event Center The comedian followed up his 2022 Netflix stand-up special "Stadium Fluffy" (filmed at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, which he sold out; the first comedian to do so) with this year's "Legend of Fluffy," shot at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Iglesias also appeared in the 2012 Tampa Bay-set and shot male stripper movie "Magic Mike" and 2015's "Magic Mike XXL." Aug. 22; Amalie Arena Between her long-running stint as a judge on "American Idol" that concluded last year and her recent trip to space on a Blue Origin flight, Katy Perry released her latest album "143," and is now on the Lifetimes Tour. She'll be joined in Tampa by Rebecca Black, who — despite going viral with her debut single "Friday" in 2011 — just released her first two full-lengths "Let Her Burn" and "Salvation" in 2023 and 2025. Aug. 22; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre The group known for No. 1 country hits such as "Pontoon," "Girl Crush" and "Better Man" — which was written by Taylor Swift, and recorded by her years later for the 2021 "Taylor's Version" of her 2012 album "Red" — performs with Grammy-winning country singer-songwriter Ashley McBryde and Carter Faith. Aug. 29; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre The pop-punk band that rose to fame in the late '90s is back together with their best-known lineup — bassist Mark Hoppus, guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker — including on their most recent release, 2023's No. 1 album "One More Time..." It doesn't seem like there are any hard feelings between Blink-182 and their former guitarist during DeLonge's absence, Matt Skiba, as Skiba's band Alkaline Trio opens the show. Aug. 30; Amalie Arena Singer Stevie Nicks has had hugely successful careers both as a member of Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist — leading her to be inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the first woman musician to achieve that feat. While Fleetwood Mac's days performing together are likely over following fellow member Christine McVie's death in 2022, you can still see Nicks live, including at this Amalie Arena show. Sept. 3; Ruth Eckerd Hall Cynthia Erivo is having a busy 2025, between earning an Oscar nomination for her role in the film adaptation of "Wicked" and starring in this year's upcoming sequel "Wicked: For Good," hosting the Tony Awards, and releasing the album "I Forgive You." She's also been performing with orchestras, with this Ruth Eckerd Hall show featuring the Florida Orchestra rescheduled from an earlier date in May. Sept. 5; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre In a solo career that's lasted just over a decade, Thomas Rhett has scored 20 No. 1 country airplay hits and two albums (2017's "Life Changes" and 2019's "Center Point Road") that not only topped Billboard's country albums chart but also the overall Billboard 200. He'll perform with rising country star Tucker Wetmore, who landed at No. 4 on Billboard's country albums chart and No. 15 on the Billboard 200 for his debut full-length "What Not To" released earlier this year. Sept. 6; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre Even if you can't make Vans Warped Tour — which this year has only Florida date, Nov. 15-16 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando — you can still catch this show featuring two of the festival's former top acts: prog rockers Coheed and Cambria and pop-punkers Taking Back Sunday, both from New York. Show up early to see St. Louis indie group Foxing. Sept. 10; Amalie Arena Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, Nine Inch Nails made their debut with 1989's "Pretty Hate Machine," then reached rock stardom with 1994's quadruple-platinum "The Downward Spiral." Frontman Trent Reznor and collaborator Atticus Ross have focused on film scores in recent years — winning two Oscars for "The Social Network" and "Soul" — but Nine Inch Nails proper will contribute new music to Disney's upcoming "Tron: Ares." Sept. 10; Yuengling Center, Tampa; The 20-year-old singer-songwriter whose sound blends country, rap and pop tours in support of her upcoming sophomore studio album "Sex Hysteria," with its single "Blue Strips" landing at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. This year also saw Jessie Murph land an Academy of Country Music Awards nomination for New Female Artist of the Year. Sept. 11; Amalie Arena From being a member of the pioneering and perpetually controversial '80s rap group N.W.A, to striking out on his own in the '90s as a solo musician and star of movies such as "Boyz n the Hood" and "Friday," to even branching out into family-friendly fare with the "Barbershop" films and "Are We There Yet?" in the 2000s, Ice Cube has lived many lives artistically. That longevity should be reflected on this tour touting "Four Decades of Attitude." Sept. 13; Raymond James Stadium One of the biggest bands of the 2000s emo/alt-rock era before breaking up in 2013, My Chemical Romance has since reunited and is going on tour to celebrate their 2006 album "The Black Parade," which turns 20 next year. They'll be joined in Tampa by one of their past contemporaries: Evanescence, whose 2003 hit "Bring Me to Life" played a prominent part in the recent second season of the HBO show "The Rehearsal." Sep. 13; Amalie Arena Singer Benson Boone is currently best known for two things: his No. 2 hit "Beautiful Things," and doing backflips. Like, a lot, for some reason. However, those two things have been enough to earn him a Best New Artist Grammy nomination, a musical guest spot on "Saturday Night Live," a Coachella set where he was joined by Queen guitarist Brian May, and now an arena tour in support of his latest album, this year's "American Heart." Sept. 17; The BayCare Sound Tampa Bay alternative rock radio station 97X presents the band known for songs such as "Cigarette Daydreams" and "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" in this "97X Next Big Thing Legends" concert, named after the annual music festival that Cage the Elephant has played multiple times. Dexter and the Moonrocks and Girl Tones will also perform. Sept. 20; Ruth Eckerd Hall The former Vero Beach resident is known for his stand-up specials (his most recent being 2023's "Sledgehammer") and hosting the podcasts "Your Mom's House" with his wife/fellow comedian Christina Pazsitzky and "Two Bears One Cave" with fellow former Floridian Bert Kreischer. Segura also recently starred in his own Netflix series "Bad Thoughts." Sept. 20; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre Oscar-winning "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" Southern rappers Three 6 Mafia and "Tha Crossroads" hip-hop group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony team up for The Thuggish-Ruggish-Mafia Tour, which will also feature rappers Tech N9ne and DJ Quik. Sept. 21; Amalie Arena The Puerto Rican rapper tours in support of his upcoming album "Real Hasta la Muerte 2," the sequel to his 2018 debut studio album. Anuel AA has also appeared on songs by other artists such as Shakira and Bad Bunny, and more recently on remixes of songs by Jennifer Lopez and Ice Spice. Sept. 27; MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre Here's another concert for Warped Tour fans who won't be able to make it to Orlando, headlined by two bands from Florida themselves: Ocala metalcore group A Day to Remember, and Jacksonville pop-punkers Yellowcard. Two newer groups from the same respective genres, Boundaries and State Champs, will also perform. Email entertainment reporter Jimmy Geurts at Support local journalism by subscribing.
