Kim Kardashian named one of Variety's 'Power Women' of New York due to her charitable contributions

Kim Kardashian will be recognised by Variety's Power Of Women: New York luncheon for her work supporting the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. 

The 34-year-old will be among those named as an Inspiration Impact Honoree at the publication's April 24 event, which will pay tribute to some of the industry's most charitable women, according to Page Six.

The hospital is no doubt near and dear to Kim's heart, who has paid visits to the medical centre with her sister Kendall Jenner and husband Kanye West in the past.

Variety's publisher Michelle Sobrino sang the events' praises.

'Variety's Power of Women initiative has become a shining example of what is possible when committed women with a voice stand up for worthy causes and harness their power to give back and inspire others to do the same,' she told the publication. 

'Launching the event in New York last year was immensely gratifying for both Variety and our partner Lifetime, and we are honored to share this day with our incredible new charity partner, the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

'Together we will further magnify the beautiful spirit the Power of Women series exemplifies.'

Kim will share the bill with Glenn Close, Whoopi Goldberg, Lena Dunham, and Rachel Weisz, who will also be named Inspiration Impact Honorees. 

And Kim has already received the backing of fellow honoree Whoopi.

A rep for the actress told Page Six: 'Whoopi has no issues with Kim ­being involved with the event.' 

While Kim famously calls Calabasas home, her husband Kanye West did own an apartment in the Big Apple.

In July, the reality star revealed on her blog that she has been browsing for apartments in New York.
