The annual “Women Who Care: A Leadership Breakfast” celebrates the power and influence women have in changing their communities and the world. This breakfast was developed to help educate the public and raise funds for the array of critical programs provided by the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts. The 8th annual breakfast on Sept. 25 will support the variety of ways the Red Cross mobilizes people to help in their communities, across the country, and around the world. This year, the American Red Cross is honored to present the “Women Who Care Humanitarian Award” to Rory and Ethel Kennedy. Our honorees share the Red Cross’ continued commitment of public service to make the world a better place and build a fair and just society.

The breakfast will also include a sneak peek of Ethel, a feature length documentary about the remarkable life of Ethel Kennedy. Directed by her Emmy Award winning daughter, Rory Kennedy, the film features candid interviews with Ethel and seven of her children. The film is scheduled for broadcast on HBO in the fall of 2012.
