Stephanie McMahon’s history with charity needs no explanation to wrestling fans. She is listed by Forbes as the second-most influential Chief Marketing Officer in the world. If philanthropy truly is the future of marketing, as Stephanie once tweeted, she’s thoroughly entrenched herself as queen.

According to a press released by WWE, McMahon is receiving more kudos from a charitable organization. Stephanie will be honored by the March of Dimes with corporate leadership award later this month. The release credits Steph for her philanthropic work as well as for being responsible for the popularity of women’s wrestling.
