Co-chairman of WME Richard Weitz and his daughter, Demi, received the prestigious Dorothy Parker Award this year.

The two have raised $37 million for charities across the country, including the NAACP, after launching weekly celebrity Zoom performances titled "Quarantunes" at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I don't think that I could have ever thought we would be standing right here being recognized by the NAACP, and to have it with the Dorothy Parker ally award is really humbling and amazing," said Weitz.
