Stephen Amell and Yael Cohen Braun honored at the first annual Barbara Berlanti Heroes Gala benefitting F Cancer
‘Arrow’ star Stephen Amell and F Cancer co-founder Yael Cohen Braun were both honored at the first annual Barbara Berlanti Heroes Gala benefitting F Cancer. As a board member of the organization, Amell was honored with the Hero Award and Yael was honored with the Barbara Berlanti Vanguard Award for her groundbreaking work educating young adults on the importance of early detection.
The name Berlanti might ring a bell to some, as this gala is in honor of the mother of legendary TV and movie writer and producer Greg Berlanti. The man responsible for some of your favorite shows (‘Legends of Tomorrow’, ‘Black Lightning’, ‘Arrow’, ‘The Flash’, ‘Supergirl’ and ‘Riverdale’, to name a few) is the chairman of F Cancer. After the passing of his mother Barbara, he decided to throw this gala in her honor.
