More than 500 guests were in attendance at the Beverly Wilshire on Nov. 6 to honor Cindy Crawford and Elyse Walker at the annual Women’s Guild Cedars-Sinai Luncheon. Molly Sims and Brooke Burke served as presenters but the showstopper was Crawford’s mother, Jennifer Maki and daughter, Kaia Gerber, who took the stage together and gave a touching tribute to Crawford before she received her award.

The red-carpet luncheon kicked-off with a silent auction featuring fine jew- elry and designer handbags, followed by three elyse walker runway fashion shows showcasing her new jewel-toned silky pantsuits and dresses during the awards ceremony. Shelley Cooper (Women’s Guild President), along with co-chairs Jody Lippman and Linda Lippman were on hand along with honorary co-chairs Atoosa Nehorai and Pary Mosenifar. 

For more than 60 years, the Women’s Guild has supported world-class health- care through research and innovation. Women’s Guild members have raised nearly $50 million in support of Cedars- Sinai’s most critical work, including the Women’s Guild Chair in Gastroenterology, Women’s Guild Simulation Center for Advanced Clinical Skills, Women’s Guild Lung Institute, Saul and Joyce Brandman Breast Center–A Project of Women’s Guild at Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute, and the recently announced Women’s Guild Neurology Project.
