Lauren Sánchez, alongside Jeff Bezos, honored actress and activist Eva Longoria with the prestigious Bezos Courage and Civility Award and a staggering $50 million grant for her charitable endeavors. The evening, filled with celebration and gratitude, and perhaps one of the couple’s most heartwarming and emotionally charged events, underscored Longoria’s commitment to philanthropy and advocacy, particularly within the Latino community and for individuals with special needs.
At the core of Longoria’s work lies a deep-rooted commitment to advocating for the rights and well-being of the Latino community. Lauren Sánchez, in her tribute to Longoria, encapsulated the sentiment shared by many: that Longoria embodies the very essence of a superhero.
Adding: “Growing up as a little girl in Corpus Christi, her philanthropy started small. Over the years through her work with Eva’s Heroes, the Eva Longoria Foundation and other organizations, she has championed those with special needs and the Latina community which is at the heart of her work.”
