Advance Savings Until February 19th.

Nominating a woman you know for an award is such a powerful way to appreciate and acknowledge her. It lets her know that she has been seen, and she matters. It's something she will remember and be impacted by forever.

The Woman Of Worth Awards were renamed the Tammy Moyer Woman Of Worth Awards to honour the memory of an extraordinary human. Tammy was a dear friend and the morning anchor on News1130. She was a passionate supporter of women's causes and especially WOW.

Her sudden loss to pancreatic cancer was a tragic blow to everyone, especially her (then) 7-year-old son as she was a single mom. The Awards now allow Tammy's name to live on in a way that was meaningful to her, keeping her memory and radiance alive.

NOMINATE Your Woman of Worth!

Nominations CLOSED January 31

Pain to Purpose:

A meaningful conversation on cancer survival and loss … with a message of hope

We live in a world where everyone has a cancer story. You’ve either been diagnosed and are in treatment, remission or cured … or you know someone. More tragically, you have lost a loved one (or more than one). This panel will cover both ends of the spectrum, with gritty authenticity and heart. Even in the darkest challenges, there are opportunities to evolve from pain into purpose. You will be inspired by these courageous women, who are sharing from their souls so you can know there is hope and light on this journey.
