L'Oréal Paris has announced its 2020 Women of Worth Honorees -- rewarding ten inspirational women with $10,000 to support their non-profit organizations.
For the first time ever, the honorees, who selflessly give back to their communities, will be featured in a one-hour NBC special. It airs nationwide on Wednesday, November 25 at 8 PM ET / 7 PM CT.
This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of L'Oreal's philanthropic Women of Worth program, which brings to life the brand's iconic tagline – "Because You're Worth It."
Ali Goldstein, L'Oréal Paris USA President says, "This year has given us a greater appreciation and respect for those who dedicate their lives to serving their communities. That's why it's more important than ever that the L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth platform continue to shine a spotlight on the tenacity and courage of women who are tackling injustice and channeling painful experiences into something truly beautiful and worthy."
