In 2016 Ms. Mazzie and Danieley received CSC’s Founders Award for Empowerment. After Mazzie passed away last year from ovarian cancer, CSC renamed the award after the 2017 American Theater Hall of Fame inductee and three-time Tony nominee to recognize notable public figures who use their platform to both advocate for and inspire people who are living with cancer and their loved ones.

The Cancer Support Community is a global non-profit that provides vital resources to cancer patients and their caregivers.
