Children's Rights Third Annual Benefit
10/14/2008 - By Gotham Hall

Children's Rights Third Annual Benefit

Hannah Storm

On Tuesday, October 14, more than 400 Children’s Rights supporters packed New York City’s Gotham Hall to celebrate our victories on behalf of America’s abused and neglected children

and to honor civil rights attorney Richard D. Emery, partner in Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady, with the Children’s Rights Champion Award.

It was a stirring and inspiring evening — and a very successful one as well, raising more than $800,000 in support of Children’s Rights’ work. ESPN SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm hosted the event, and the legendary newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin introduced Mr. Emery. In addition to a speech by the Winner sisters of New Jersey — two of whom were named plaintiffs in our successful class action seeking the reform of the child welfare system in their home state — the event also featured the premiere of a new video exploring the results of Children’s Rights’ reform campaign in Tennessee.

We are grateful to our benefit co-chairs — Gerald B. Lefcourt, partner in Gerald B. Lefcourt PC; Jeff Ross, producer of Late Night with Conan O’Brien; and Edward C. Wallace, shareholder in Greenberg Traurig LLP – and to all who came out and offered their generous support.
