Governors Island Alliance 2011 Benefit

The Governors Island Alliance held their annual benefit on Monday, June 20, 2011 in the Commanding Officers Quarters of the island. The successful gala has attracted 250 civic, business, and political leaders. This year, the organization honored Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Linda Fagan, US Coast Guard Captain of the Port of NY and NJ, and Kenneth Fisher, Founding GIA Chair.

Governors Island Alliance is a coalition of organiza­tions and individuals work­ing to celebrate the Island’s rich history, create memora­ble parks and public spaces, and ensure appropriate reuse of the Island and its historic structures. Since 1995, the mem­bers of the Governors Island Alliance have worked collaboratively to return the Island to its right­ful owners, the people of New York. Their concept of redevel­oping the Island as a great civic space was the basis for the 2003 transfer from the Federal Government to the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation (now The Trust for Governors Island) and the National Park Service (NPS). Governors Island will soon boast about 110 acres of pub­lic open space. The land­scaped grounds and 19th century homes in the Island’s spectacular 93-acre National Landmark Historic District are permanently protected under city, state, and federal law. The Alliance is commit­ted to working with The Trust for Governors Island, NPS, and their elected officials to ensure that the final plans and redevelopment proposals set public access, park pro­gramming, and historic pres­ervation as primary goals – and that there is funding to make these plans happen.

Contributions are essential to the Alliance’s free public programs. GIA welcomes thousands of New Yorkers to the Island every summer with concerts, arts & educational programs. The volunteers help stretch the capacity of government and other non-profit partners. Your support also enables them to continue their advocacy on behalf of the Island during the rest of the year.

2011 PEN Literary Gala

John Waters, Filmaker of Hairspray and many more, with Lisa Li, Executive Partner of Livents

On Tuesday, April 26, 2011, Livents had the honor in attending the PEN Literary Gala that was held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, NY. With 550 guests, the attendees ranged from writers to filmmakers to supporters, who helped raise $1,000,000 for the organization and its activities.

The PEN’s Freedom to Write Award honored Nasrin Sotoudeh, a human-rights lawyer and writer. An inspirational individual, who defended the opinions and beliefs of her clients, ranging from Iranian opposition activists and politicians. She was accused of activities against Iran national security and propaganda against the regime. Since her arrest, Sotoudeh has been held in solitary confinement and was denied to see her family. Sotoudeh continues to protest her detention and ill treatment by going on dry hunger strikes (refusal of both food and water). Her bravery becomes more and more admirable every day.

Additionally, Michael Ondaatje, Sri Lanka-born author of “The English Patient,” received the PEN Literary Service Award. His works include Divisadero, The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film, Anil's Ghost, The English Patient, In the Skin of a Lion, Coming Through Slaughter, The Collected Works of Billy the Kid, and his memoir, Running in the Family. His collections of poetry include Secular Love, The Cinnamon Peeler, and Handwriting. He has made two documentary films: Sons of Captain Poetry and The Clinton Special. His forthcoming novel, The Cat's Table, will be published in the fall of 2011. Ondaatje's devotion to literature has influenced individuals across the nation and around the world.

The event is one of the PEN American Center's largest source of unrestricted support. It provides crucial funding for their work to secure the liberty of persecuted and imprisoned writers around the world, to defend freedom of expression wherever it is threatened, and to promote literature and international cultural exchange. The PEN/Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award is granted to an imprisoned writer of conscience in particularly dire circumstances. Also presented to a writer is the PEN Literary Service Award for critically acclaimed work that illuminates the human condition in original and powerful ways.

Give Kids A Shot! National Meningitis Association Gala

Livents was cordially invited to attend the National Meningitis Association Gala 2011's GIVE KIDS A SHOT! - "A Benefit to Save Lives in the Fight Against Meningitis, a Vaccine-Preventable Disease." This signature fundraising event will help NMA continue and expand its vital work in the fight against meningitis. The honoree was former New York Giants Football great, Bart Oates and his wife Michelle for their 25 year commitment to Pediatric Neurological Research with the Children’s Advocacy Award.

Meningococcal disease is a rare but sometimes deadly disease,also known as bacterial meningitis,that strikes adolescents and young adults.The disease spreads quickly and within hours of the first symptoms can cause organ failure, brain damage, amputation of limbs or death.Parents and their children should learn more about meningococcal disease and prevention. Vaccination can prevent most cases of the disease.

Although is was hard to see some kids suffering of such disease, it was educational and brought awareness for Livents to share with the rest of our viewers. Hope this was educational for you and take care!
