Last night Catherine Malandrino attended the 2009 NY Women’s Foundation Fall Dinner with her close friend Mary J. Blige who also performed at the event.  The theme of the evening was “Step out to step up” honoring Elizabeth and Herb Sturz and Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas D. Kristof. The Stepping Up Award is presented to New Yorkers who serve as role models and demonstrate courageous leadership, vision and commitment to women and girls as individuals and as a couple.
