Point Foundation to Honor Kristin Chenoweth

The Point Foundation will present the Point Courage Award to Tony Award-winning and Emmy nominated actress Kristin Chenoweth on September 13th at Jim Henson Studios in Los Angeles. Kristin made her mark in television, theatre and film with celebrated stage performances in You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, Wicked and The Apple Tree, unforgettable television characters on Pushing Daisies, The West Wing and Annie, and hilarious film roles in Deck the Halls, RV, Bewitched, The Pink Panther and Running with Scissors.

"Given Kristin's work and achievements in the entertainment industry and her advocacy for the LGBT community, she is a strong and visible role model for today's youth and we are honored to pay tribute to her this year," stated the foundation.

The Point Inspiration Award recognizes a corporation that champions respect and inclusion of the LGBT community and operates with the vision that investing in today's potential will produce a brighter tomorrow.
