Fundraising Gala and Silent Auction Information

On February 6, 2024, we will be hosting The Stephanie Jackson Advancing Women in Leadership Fundraiser at Manhatta in New York City.  We hope you'll support our efforts to honor Stephanie's incredible legacy by attending our event and/or participating in our silent auction.  

The fund honors Stephanie's inspiring and impactful legacy by supporting women in finding their voices, expanding their influence, strengthening their leadership, and advancing their careers.

Her life's passion was hospitality, and through her incredible 20-year career she touched the lives of many, particularly helping to advance more women in leadership.  

Stephanie launched the first-ever "Advancing Women in Leadership" program in her role as the Director of Learning & Development for Union Square Hospitality Group in New York City. She passionately advocated for this program and worked tirelessly to successfully launch and lead the program. As a result of Stephanie's courage and commitment to launch this program, over 200 women at USHG were able to participate and benefit.  

Stephanie went on to lead Global Leadership Development for Tiffany and Co. and then became the Chief People Officer for Aurify, even further expanding her incredible influence and impact advancing more women in leadership.

Stephanie left our world on February 7th, 2023, two days before her 40th birthday, after a 3-year fight against brain cancer, during which she showed incredible grace, strength and determination. 

One of the programs that the scholarship fund will support is participation in a 4-month long, transformational leadership development program entitled The Professional Leadership Program for Women with the Dr. Nancy Grasmick Leadership Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. This program invites women of all levels of leadership and across all industries to participate.  A typical cohort is approximately 30 women and they meet every other Tuesday for 9 day-long sessions.   The program fee is $3900 and this scholarship will allow deserving, talented and committed women who don't have the financial means to participate in this program.  If you are interested in hearing directly from participants about the impact of the, please click here for this short video.   Scholarship applications can be requested by sending an email here.  

The most loving mother, she left behind her three children Eliot McIntyre, Camille Diane and Leon William. A devoted wife to Dan Jackson of nearly 9 years, they shared a life filled with an immeasurable amount of joyful memories.

Stephanie embodied the word selfless and there won't be a single moment where she won't be immensely missed. We hope you'll join us in honoring her impactful legacy.
