Philanthropist-actress-producer Christy Scott Cashman, who has a small-yet-flashy role in the new film "Joy," hosted a breakfast last week for CharityWarriors, a nonprofit that has women competing to raise the most money for the cause of their choice. The morning featured expertise from Ice Bucket Challenge matriarch Nancy Frates, Saskia Epstein of Power Launch, and MassChallenge's Stuart Paap, who gave tips on the art of the pitch. The CharityWarriors project was founded by Cashman and Mary Chiochios.
