Jamie Lee Curtis Receives Inaugural Reiner Champion for Change Award in Beverly Hills
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis was honored with the first Michele & Rob Reiner Champion for Change Award at a gala in Beverly Hills. The award was presented by Jake and Romy, children of Rob and Michele Reiner. According to Jake, the award reflects his parents' motto of not settling for the status quo and striving to make the world a better place. Romy added that Curtis received the award for her belief in the good of people and her dedication to rectifying injustice. The event also served as a fundraiser for the Children's Institute, a non-profit organization in Los Angeles that supports children and families in underserved communities, raising over $4 million. Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found deceased in their Los Angeles home in December of the previous year, and their son, Nick, is facing charges for two counts of premeditated murder, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
