YWCA of the City of New York

Each year, the YW presents the W Award to women and companies that embody our mission to empower women and eliminate racism. This year, we are proud to present 150th Celebration W Awards to Carla Hendra, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Ogilvy North America, and Chairman, Ogilvy New York, and to Women's Health, with VP/Editor-in-Chief Tina Johnson and VP/Publisher Mary Murcko accepting on the magazine's behalf.

Established in 1858, the YWCA of the City of New York is one of the nation's oldest non-profit organizations. Our mission is to empower the City's women, girls and their families and to eliminate racism. Our programs provide childcare in Early Learning Centers in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island; new Family Resource Centers that offer programs on parenting, job training, financial literacy, and health and nutrition in the communities where our Early Learning Centers are located; employment training for women; and after-school programs for children, girls and young adults. We serve as a leading advocate for women, girls and diversity.
