McGinley, Caterina Scorsone, Kevin McKidd, Anthony Hill, Alexis Floyd, Jake Borelli, Danielle Savre, Terrell Davis, Beverly Johnson and Max Carver.
After 21 brilliant models who happen to have Down syndrome rocked the runway, director Bobby Farrelly and extraordinary self-advocate and actress Madison Tevlin, were presented with the Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy Awards (Q-Award) for their work on Champions, a heartfelt comedy starring Woody Harrelson and Kaitlin Olsen that centers around a basketball coach who helms a team of players with intellectual disabilities.
