Leading beauty retailer ULTA and American Idol's Katharine McPhee honored the inspirational achievements of Step Up Women's Network at a Hollywood luncheon and celebrated the launch of YouAreMyInspiration.org, an innovative fundraising website in support of underserved teen girls.

Hosted by ULTA with support from In Style, the event recognized the mission of Step Up Women's Network a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to strengthening community resources for women and girls.

Attendees included influencers from the beauty, entertainment and publishing industries as well as local girls involved in Step Up's teen empowerment programs.

"We are inspired by the work of Step Up Women's Network and are proud to be aligned with an organization that shares our dedication to helping women in every aspect of their lives," said Lyn Kirby, CEO, ULTA.

"We are especially pleased to help Step Up transform their creative web-based outreach into a reality, expanding their ability to touch more women through the spirit of inspiration."

With support from ULTA, YouAreMyInspiration.org was created as an interactive online gift house where women can honor someone special in their lives while helping to create better futures for underserved teen girls. Visitors to the site can acknowledge women who have inspired them with a special "inspiration gift" donation to Step Up Women's Network.

Each donation directly benefits teen girls with a selection of companion gifts including: providing healthy snacks for after-school programs, purchasing ayear's supply of school books, funding a college tour visit and sponsoring an empowerment back-to-school celebration for 30 girls.
