| WHAT: |
Bradley A. Luster, President of Major

feature special presentations by Honorary Co-Chairs Donald T.
Sterling and Stanley Black as well as State Controller John

market. This year’s Inspiration Award recipients include Emi
Carvell, who found a whole new direction in life after surviving a
life-threatening brain tumor; Adam Koffman, a Hurricane Katrina
evacuee who had to rebuild his life from scratch; Tzigeh Mesfun,
a courageous survivor of human trafficking, and Jonnique Rush, a
high school drop-out who found a new career and future.
