Step Up held their 2023 Inspiration Awards at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Guests celebrated 25 years of Step Up mentorship at the annual fête where they heard from girls and mentors who have been involved with the organization over the years.
Mentors from the inaugural 25 Mentors of The Year List in honor of the 25th Anniversary in attendance included Julie Bowen (Modern Family) and journalist Lisa Ling, along with VIP guests including Linda Cardellini (Dead To Me), Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul), Garcelle Beauvais (Spiderman: Homecoming), Melissa Peterman (Young Sheldon), Abigail Spencer (Suits) and Maggie Lawson (Psych).
The new 25 Mentors of The Year distinction was reserved for those who serve as role models in the community for defining and pursuing dreams of success demonstrated through their impactful work, journeys, and characters. The full list of 25 Mentors of the Year can be found here.
