Two-time Tony Award winner Cherry Jones (The Heiress, Doubt) will receive the Point Courage Award, and Motorola will receive the Point Inspiration Award.

The awards will be presented Sept. 26 at Point's annual Los Angeles benefit, Point Honors, which will be held at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel.

The Point Courage Award, according to press notes, recognizes an individual who has "advocated for the future of the LGBT community and lives with the vision that investing in today's potential will produce a brighter tomorrow." The Point Inspiration Award recognizes a corporation that "champions respect and inclusion of the LGBT community, and operates with the vision that the success achieved by talented young people is limited only by the resources and opportunities they are given to help them fulfill their potential."

In a statement Jorge Valencia, executive director and chief executive officer of Point Foundation, said, "In addition to being one of the most respected actresses in her profession, Cherry Jones has lived her life unapologetically as an out lesbian and is a shining example of courage to all individuals fighting for equality. More importantly, Ms. Jones gives hope to young people everywhere including our Point Scholars."

Jones added, "I was honored and humbled when I learned that I would receive the Point Courage Award. The Point Foundation is a wonderful organization, granting scholarships to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students across America, and I am proud to be associated with such a worthy cause."
