“It was a great honor to have Ken Howard bestow upon Marsha Hunt my cinema series’ first annual ‘Hunt For Humanity Award’ to publicly acknowledge Ms. Hunt for her personal commitment to standing up for doing what is right, regardless of the repercussions, and for being one of the first high profile role models to use her celebrity for the benefit of helping others,” Kramer said.
