Lopez, the 44-year-old mother of 5-year-old
twins, Maximilian and Emme, will receive the Grace Kelly Award
at the eighth annual March of Dimes luncheon at the Beverly
Hills Hotel on Friday. She's being recognized as a celebrity
parent role model supporting women giving birth to healthy
babies after full-term pregnancies. The 75-year-old nonprofit organization aims to prevent birth
defects, premature births and infant mortality. A&E networks President and CEO Nancy Dubuc and Dr. Balaji
Govindaswami, chief of newborn medicine at the Santa Clara
Valley Medical Center, will also be honored. Lopez said in a statement: "As a mother myself, I am aware of
the importance of healthful pregnancies and babies." Reese Witherspoon was honored at last year's event. ___ Online: [Associated Press; JESSICA HERNDON] Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
