Global Kids Winter Benefit
01/14/2009 - By The Council on Foreign relations

Global Kids Winter Benefit

Global Kids Winter Benefit took place on January 14, 2009, at the Council on Foreign relations. The event, attended by nearly 250 people, raised more than $470,000.

Vincent Mai, chairman of AEA Investors, one of the nation’s oldest private equity firms, received the Distinguished Global Citizen Award. Former New York Giants star Tiki Barber was the Special Honored Guest.

Michael Sonnenfeldt, Chairman of MUUS & Company, and Christopher Williams of Williams Capital Group, L.P. co-chaired the event.

Sixteen Global Kids Youth Leaders participated in the event, representing such neighborhoods as Pelham Parkway and Allentown in the Bronx; Crown Heights, Flatbush, and Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn; and Astoria, East Elmhurst, and Long Island City in Queens.

Two key leaders from the Council on Foreign Relations attended the event: Leslie H. Gelb, President Emeritus and Board Senior Fellow, and Richard Haass, President. Other prominent guests who attended the Benefit include Budd Schulberg, noted screenwriter, novelist and sports writer; Cora Weiss, Founder of the Hague Appeal for Peace, and President of the Samuel Rubin Foundation; Sanford Krieger, Partner at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, and Stanley Shuman of Allen & Company and Chairman of the Marc Haas Foundation.

Proceeds from the evening will be used to support Global Kids, which, for two decades, has been educating and inspiring urban youth to become successful students and global and community leaders by engaging them in socially dynamic, content-rich learning experiences.

Global Kids will continue to accept contributions. Donors can contribute online at www.globalkids.org or contact Jessica Schulberg at 212-226-0130, jschulberg@globalkids.org.
