Yvonne Kopacz Wright is best known for her acting roles in Guiding Light, Days of Our Lives, and Law and Order, to name a few. She is using her celebrity influence to raise awareness about saving the honeybee from extinction and educating audiences on how they can positively affect our ecosystem.
To date, BMW of North America has honored 40 philanthropic women in seven cities across the United States, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, DC, Atlanta, Charlotte and New York. Through this event series, BMW has donated to over nine charities that specifically support underserved women and girls.
BMW of North America continues to venture into the community during these events by inviting attending guests to “Drive for a Cause.” Each visitor was offered an opportunity to test drive the new BMW convertibles on site at the brunch series. For every guest that did a test drive, a donation was made to the Powherful Foundation, A 501(c)3 organization created by American Broadcast Journalist Soledad O’Brien, that gets young women to and through college named.
