Alison was honored sometime for her Organic Style. This says it is tonight, but according to their schedule they are in Cleveland tonight. Alison apparently sang at the event so was probably the last week or so while they were in the area.

NEW YORK, April 21 /U.S. Newswire/ -- More than 200 guests filled New York City's Jazz at Lincoln Center tonight as Organic Style honored the achievements of 10 "Women with Organic Style," an extraordinary group of energetic, passionate and inspirational women, all of whom have devoted themselves to improving the health of our planet and children. Actress Helen Hunt, singer Alison Krauss and President of The Children's Defense Fund Marian Wright Edelman were among the honorees. The event was hosted by Jeanie Pyun, editor of Organic Style, and Maria Rodale, Organic Style founding editor and vice chairman of Rodale Inc. Special guest presenters included Rosanna Arquette, actress/filmmaker; Helena Christensen, supermodel; Deidre Imus, Founder of The Deidre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology; Peter Hoffman, chef; Dar Williams, singer; and Renee Loux, author.
"Organic Style is about authenticity and empowerment, and these women personify our mission perfectly -- it is our pleasure and privilege to be able to celebrate the strides they have achieved for the causes they hold dear," Pyun said. "These women are devoted to having a positive impact on the world: their fight to defend and care for the world's children is a fight to protect the future of our planet... and they all do it with grace and beauty."
The honorees were selected by the editors of Organic Style for their significant actions to protect and preserve the earth and everyone on it. Each of these women contributes to the world creatively, vigorously, joyfully and they are doing it with style. A feature on the honorees appears in the May issue of Organic Style, on sale now. This is the fourth feature of its kind and the third annual ceremony.
The 2005 "Women with Organic Style" are:
-- Helen Hunt (Santa Monica, California), Academy Award Winning Actress
-- Sarah Takesh (Kabul, Afghanistan), Philanthropic Clothing Entrepreneur
-- Stella McCartney (London, England), Fashion Designer
-- Johari Cole (Pembroke, Illinois), Organic Farmer

-- Jessica Seinfeld (New York, New York), Founder, Baby Buggy
-- Marian Wright Edelman (Washington, DC), President/Founder, The Children's Defense Fund
-- Zana Briski (New York, New York), Photographer/Filmmaker
Reflecting the personality and mission of the magazine, event invitations were composed on recycled paper, and the featured food and beverage were organic and natural, as well as the flower arrangements. To recognize their commitment to the world, each of the "Women with Organic Style" received a stunning award created from recycled glass. Grammy Award-winning singer Alison Krauss performed. Honorees received a special gift bag featuring: one roundtrip Song airline ticket; a Citrine by the Stones recycled glass necklace; a Dyson vacuum cleaner; two Smith & Hawken reclaimed-teak wooden ducks; Staci Woo leather flip-flops; a Stewart and Brown tote bag; Vosges chocolate truffles; a Stuart and Brown cashmere sweater and organic-cotton skirt; Chronicle Book's Little Pea, with a $100 book donation to Baby Buggy; a soy candle, linen throw, sewing kit, and scented pencils, all from the Organic Style Boutique. 2005 sponsors Aveeno and Stonyfield Farm awarded two Organic Style readers with a trip to New York City to attend the event for doing their part to make to make a positive impact on the world.
Since its September 2001 launch, Organic Style's mission has been to help women live a healthy, authentic and balanced life. With features on food, entertaining, home decorating, health, travel, fitness, beauty, fashion and relationships, Organic Style gives women the cutting-edge information on organic living they crave, while inspiring them to define their own "good life" through sumptuous design, lush photography and smart, soulful writing.
