WE WANTED TO BESTOW OUR FIRST BEACON
AWARD, PRESENTED IN COLLABORATION
WITH ADCOLOR, ON SOMEONE WHO BOTH
INSPIRES OTHERS AND DELIVERS ON THEIR
EFFORTS TO EFFECT CHANGE. EVA LONGORIA—
ACTOR, DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, ACTIVIST,
PHILANTHROPIST AND SHREWD STEWARD OF
HER ENDORSEMENT POWER—SETS THE BAR
HIGH ON BOTH COUNTS.
