Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson Jackson are slated to receive the Clarence & Jacqueline Avant Humanitarian Award at the HollyRod Foundation’s annual gala. The event is scheduled for Nov. 7 in Los Angeles.

This year’s gala carries the theme “Action in Motion,” reflecting the organization’s aim to turn awareness into tangible support.
Robinson Peete said each honoree “has taken our mission and put it into real, everyday action—for their own families, their communities, and the families we serve,” linking the theme to the awardees. The gala’s full slate of honorees includes Maureen McCormick, Bruce Sickler, Ahman Green, Camille Joy Robinson, Tanner Smith, and Teoscar Hernández with his wife Jennifer.
