The 7th Annual Three Tomatoes Renewal Summit, held at NYC’s Scandinavia House on May 17th, was a vibrant gathering co-hosted by Cheryl Benton and Anne Akers. The event was packed with enriching activities, including expert panels covering diverse topics such as health and wellness, philanthropy, relationships, and funding for women-owned businesses.

One of the standout moments was a celebrity guest interview featuring Mercedes Ellington, along with the presentation of the prestigious Woman of Purpose Award. This year, the well-deserved recipient was Stacy Francis, recognized for her impactful work with Francis Financial and the nonprofit organization Savvy Ladies. Following the ceremony, the festivities continued with over 125 guests enjoying terrace cocktails.

Exciting news was also announced during the summit: Cheryl Benton and Anne Akers revealed their partnership with the She Angels Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization committed to empowering women-led initiatives. As part of this collaboration, an annual grant will be bestowed upon the recipient of the Woman of Purpose Award, further amplifying the support for women striving to make a difference in their respective fields.
