National Philanthropy Day® (NPD) is celebrated nationwide each November. The purpose of this day is to recognize the great contributions of those people active in the philanthropic community. This year we have incorporated the Awards Ceremony into our Annual Regional Philanthropy Conference. As we honor individuals and organizations for their excellence and achievements, we are certain they will inspire not only the Conference attendees, but each and every one of us who are lucky enough to attend.

OUTSTANDING PRIVATE FOUNDATION AWARD STILETTOS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Nanci Christopher Principal Nanci Christopher is an actress and playwright. She performed her solo show, “AND BABY MAKES TWO – an adoption tale” at the Santa Monica Playhouse for over three months. Nominated for the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Published by Samuel French. Invited guest at the Humana Festival at The Actors Theatre of Louisville and the O’Neill National Playwrights’ Conference in Connecticut. Currently an Associate Member of Pacific Resident Theatre in Venice, California. Nanci’s new solo show, “ONE MINUTE OF HAPPINESS – a tale of sisterhood and baking” is a poignant, tragic and often humorous account of her relationship with her severely bi-polar sister, Gloria. Each story flows naturally into the next as Nanci and her family try to survive the upheaval of Gloria’s illness as it rips apart any semblance of normal family life. It is also a story of redemption and healing through the sisters’ attempt to stay connected via their shared passion for baking. Nanci began the Sugar & Stilettos Charitable Foundation over ten years ago as a way to combine her artistic talents with her philanthropic heart and to continue the legacy of giving back she learned from her beloved Dad Murray Neidorf. As a single mom, Nanci could not imagine the desperation she would feel if she could not feed her son. After much research, she chose the Westside Food Bank to be the beneficiary of her efforts to feed as many women, children and families as possible in her own community. To date, the Sugar & Stilettos Charitable Foundation has raised and disbursed over $600,000 to the Westside Food Bank and provided over 2.4 MILLION MEALS…OOH LA LA as we like to say at S&S!
