Baby2Baby, along with sponsor John Paul Mitchell Systems, will host the 5th Annual Baby2Baby Gala.

Baby2Baby co-presidents Kelly Sawyer Patricof and Norah Weinstein said the first name that popped in their minds for the award was none other than Garner.

"We are so proud to honor Jennifer for her commitment to supporting low-income children" Patricof and Weinstein said in a statement. "She is quite possibly the biggest advocate for these issues we have ever come across."

"She has worked tirelessly for seven years to help combat children's poverty through education and leadership," they continued. "Just this past year, she helped us secure over 2 million diapers to distribute to the families in our program across the country. We are beyond grateful for her immeasurable contributions to children all over the world and to the children of Baby2Baby."

Garner joins previous winners including Kerry Washington, Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore and Kate Hudson.
