As someone who deeply cares about the environment, it means a lot to be recognized for using my platform and comedy to inspire change. I’m proud to be part of a community that values sustainability and excited to continue working toward a greener planet.”
The gala will take place on October 26 at the Radford Studio Center in Los Angeles, hosted by Malin Akerman and Dermot Mulroney.
