Brandi Carlile to Receive Humanitarian Honor at National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards
Brandi Carlile will receive the Los Angeles Press Club’s Visionary Award for Humanitarian Work at its National Arts and Entertainment Journalism Awards Gala on 6 December. The honour recognises her advocacy through music and charitable work, including support for communities facing hardship.
Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation has awarded more than $10 million to community-based non-profits, funded in part by a portion of her ticket sales and proceeds from her wine club. A livestreamed concert for Minneapolis raised more than $750,000 for The Advocates for Human Rights. The gala will also honour KCRW presenter Madeleine Brand for her career in media.
