This year's honorees include four-time Grammy winner Christina Aguilera (for her work on behalf of World Hunger Relief), Emmy-winner Christina Applegate (Right Action for Women), Golden Globe-nominee Maria Bello (Save Darfur Coalition), Oscar-nominated Anne Hathaway (Service Nation), star of the Emmy-award-winning drama, "Mad Men," January Jones (Oceana), and three-time Academy Award nominee Sigourney Weaver (The Flea Theater).

Producer Laura Ziskin and long-time philanthropist Sherry Lansing round out the inaugural class, both honored on behalf of their organization, Stand Up 2 Cancer. Comedian and actress Jane Lynch is set to emcee the event.
