Tony Award winner Jane Krakowski will receive the Point Courage Award at the Point Foundation’s benefit gala, Point Honors, to be held at 583 Park Avenue in New York City, on April 19. Kelly Ripa and Andy Cohen will serve as co-hosts.

Point Foundation is the nation’s largest scholarship-granting organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students of merit. The Point Courage Award “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 gala will also honor author and activist David Mixner and Citi.

Krawkowski won Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Awards for her performance in the revival of Nine. Her many other stage credits include Starlight Express, Grand Hotel, Damn Yankees, and Guys and Dolls. She is perhaps best known for playing Jenna Maroney on NBC’s 30 Rock, and has also co-starred on television’s Ally McBeal.
