For each donation of $50 or more, the honoree will receive a limited edition necklace symbolizing the power of inspiration, designed through collaboration between ULTA and famed jewelry artist Isabelle Bijoux.
The necklace has a geometric charm stamped with the phrase "I am beautiful. I am me." and features five gemstones signifying tenets of inspiration: loyalty, confidence, courage, love and success. All visitors are encouraged to post stories of inspiration on the website, creating an online communityof photos and personal testimonials.
"Our new website provides a meaningful way for women to get involved while paying tribute to women in their own lives" said Kaye Popofsky Kramer, Founder, Step Up Women's Network. "It's a unique way to give back and reminds us all of the importance of inspiration in our lives and our communities."
Katharine McPhee spoke at the luncheon about her own inspirational role model. "My mother encouraged me to follow my dream during the American Idol experience and beyond," said Ms. McPhee. "Her love and confidence inspired me to achieve my goals in music and eventually as an actress."
"Today, I am delighted to support Step Up Women's Network by encouraging women to honor the women in their lives who inspired them to achieve their dreams." Ms. McPhee has catapulted her career into new areas of success, releasing her first musical album and appearing in the upcoming film "House Bunny" opposite Anna Faris for Sony Pictures.
Celebrity chef Akasha catered the luncheon and generously donated her culinary services for the event. Known for her creative organic meals, Akasha is chef/owner of Akasa's Visionary Cuisine in Los Angeles and will be opening AKASHA restaurant in Culver City this fall.
Be&D, a luxury handbag brand created by Be Inthavong and Steve Dumain, designed an exclusive handbag for the event. Loved by fashionistas and celebrities alike, Be&D's creations often pay homage to Inthavong's birthplace (Laos) by incorporating traditional Laotian elements into their designs. Many stars have been known to carry their bags, including ElleMacPherson and the Duff sisters.
