We Can All Make a Difference
Anne Akers and I are thrilled that The Three Tomatoes and Glow Beauty Magazine Giving Circle, in partnership with She Angels Foundation has kicked off with a bang thanks to the generous donations of our Giving Circle members and donors. We have now awarded two grants totaling $15,000 to two amazing grassroots organizations founded by women for women. On Sunday we presented Hearts of Gold with a $5,000 grant. This incredible non-profit founded by Deborah N. Koenigsberger is helping to break the cycle of women and their children living in shelters. Since their founding, they have helped over 36,000 homeless women and their children!
Our first grant went to Bella Abzug Leadership Institute Inc. which is helping young women with the leadership skills they need to become our next generation of leaders. We were honored that Catherine Curry-WilliamsI co-founder of She Angels joined us. She is also the author of an inspiring book, “Philanthropy on a Shoestring” an empowering book that shows that we can all make a different no matter what we have to give.

The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
