(Scottsdale, AZ - November 27, 2006) - Success for Good, an Arizona-based national nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to supporting and raising awareness for the nonprofit sector, is pleased to announce honorees for the 2006 Golden Karma Awards. Multiple Emmy and Golden Globe winning actress, artist and author Jane Seymour will be recognized with a Golden Karma Award for her extensive work with the American Red Cross. Seymour's work with the Red Cross in Kenya inspired an eye-opening documentary filmed by her husband James Keach and served as the catalyst for her to form the J & J Foundation to benefit children in need. Acclaimed actress and Esquire Magazine's 2005 "Sexiest Woman Alive" Jessica Biel will receive the Golden Karma "Young Philanthropist" Award for her charitable works. In addition to continuously supporting organizations such as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Serving Those Who Serve and PETA, the young actress has already established her own charitable organization, the Make the Difference Network (MTDN), a national "wish list" where people can search, find and fund specific "wishes" and "needs" that have been listed by nonprofit organizations. Oscar and Golden Globe winning actress Marlee Matlin will also be honored for her passionate dedication to The Children Affected by AIDS Foundation. Matlin is a board member and tireless advocate for the group which helps children and families affected by this devastating disease. The Golden Karma "Spirit of Hollywood" Award will be presented to Hollywood Mayor and Chairman of the Hollywood Walk of Fame Johnny Grant for his record breaking years of service to the USO. Grant holds the record of 58 USO tours to entertain and show appreciation for the United States Armed Forces. The evening will also feature a special performance by Phoenix born singer-songwriter William Joseph.

The star-studded black-tie awards gala will take place on Saturday, December 2, 2006 at the luxurious Scottsdale Resort & Conference Center in Scottsdale, Arizona.
