Individual Awards

Cindy Weber Cleary, Fashion Director, InStyle Magazine, who co-founded Promise
Project, an organization dedicated to providing the proper educational
resources to children with learning disabilities from lower income families.
Cindy, whose son has a learning disability, realized that less fortunate
families couldn’t afford the high cost of these additional resources. Inspired
to make a change, Cindy joined the Advisory Board of the Center for Attention
and Learning at Lennox Hill Hospital. She then co-founded Promise Project in
2010 and created a partnership with Columbia-Presbyterian to conduct
evaluations that help to develop programs based on each child’s needs. Cindy
has contributed to efforts that raised over one million dollars for the
Promise Project.

Laura Diamond, Regional Manager, Cartoon Network Enterprises Asia Pacific, who
revamped the English curriculum at the Tung Chung YMCA in Hong Kong, where she
has volunteered since 2008. Laura’s role was to teach an English storytelling
class to Cantonese-speaking children, but her enthusiasm motivated her to take
it much further. Laura restructured the center’s entire English course by
rearranging classes by age and skill, introducing new ways to measure
progress, incorporating team building skill and recruiting over 30 new
volunteers to the center. Laura is now a director of the Tung Chung YMCA and
as a result of her efforts, the center has more than 40% new students and over
100 lesson plans.

Daisy Auger-Domínguez, Managing Director, Strategic Sourcing, Worldwide
Recruitment, Time Warner Corporate, who has been an active volunteer at the
Gregorio Luperón High School for Science and Math in Washington Heights, New
York City for eight years. Daisy’s personal appreciation for the value of a
good education inspired her to help with the revitalization of the school,
which is largely comprised of Spanish dominant, immigrant youth, from the
Dominican Republic, much like herself. Daisy’s contributions to the school
include creating a professional advisory board, launching a mentoring program,
participating in career days and redesigning fundraising strategy. Daisy’s
role has helped to make the school a better place for its students to receive
a good education, now and in the future.

Scott Forman, SVP and Assistant General Manager, Warner Bros. Pictures,
Domestic Theatrical Distribution, who is President of Variety – the Children’s
Charity Tent 25. Scott has volunteered at the Variety Boys and Girls Club
since he was a young boy. Amongst Scott’s many contributions to the club is a
partnership he created with the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation
to provide neo-natal ventilators to the St. Francis Compton Hospital. Scott,
along with his 13-year old son, also formed Jr. Variety, a philanthropic group
that engages teenagers in charitable activities and allows them to hold seats
on the club’s board. The Jr. Variety teens have raised over $225,000 to help
other kids in need.

Leslie Thurman, Director, Employee Programs and Initiatives, Warner Bros.
Entertainment, is being recognized for her influential volunteer work with the
organizations HOLA and Fonkoze. Leslie has volunteered for 12 years at HOLA, a
charity group dedicated to helping underserved youth in inner-city Los
Angeles. Leslie’s efforts at HOLA include recruiting staff, mentoring kids,
participating in fundraising initiatives, and her current role serving on
HOLA’s Development Board. Leslie is also being recognized for her
contributions to Fonkoze, the largest microfinance institution of Haiti,
through which she has raised over $100,000 to support relief efforts after the
2010 earthquake. Leslie’s dedication has touched the lives of countless
victims and their families.

Emily Schendel, Manager, Strategic Acquisitions, Investments and Partnerships,
HBO, who co-founded and serves as President and Financial Director of
100cameras, a group that identifies children living in unjust conditions and
provides them with cameras to document their lives. The photographs are then
used in narratives to raise awareness about the conditions and raise funds
that are donated back to the community. The idea for 100cameras originated
when Emily and a friend were discussing an upcoming trip to Africa and her
friend suggested giving kids in an orphanage cameras to document their living
conditions. That’s just what they did, and 100Cameras has since held projects
in Sudan, New York City and Cuba and is partnering with Samsung and Whole
Foods. The group has raised over $90,000 to aid communities where children are
living in poor conditions.

Team Awards

Cartoon Network London’s “Beat the Mozzy” Team

What began as a competition to create an ad for “Malaria No More UK,” took off
into a widespread awareness campaign called “Beat the Mozzy.” A team of
volunteers at Cartoon Network in London created a campaign around the animated
character, Ziii, a malicious mosquito fixated on spreading Malaria.

The team produced four commercials and created a website, a Facebook page, web
banners and t-shirts featuring Ziii, delivering powerful messages about the
risk of malaria and initiating a call for action to help prevent and treat the
disease. “Beat The Mozzy” generated more than 29 million impressions, the
“Malaria No More” Facebook page saw a jump of over 50% in page “likes” and the
call for action was heard by more than 13 million people.

Warner Bros. Entertainment Japan’s CSR Team

The Japan earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear plant crisis spurred the
Warner Bros.’ Japan CSR team into action, launching unique initiatives to help
bring hope and relief to victims and communities at a time of despair. First,
the team organized fundraising activities in which proceeds of 3.4 million Yen
were donated to the Japan Red Cross Society through Project Cheer Up! Japan.
The group then launched Project Movie-Bus tour, an initiative that took
victims from devastated areas to theaters in less damaged locations and handed
out free movie tickets during the holidays. Other relief efforts include
Project Greiger, which provided rent-free radiation detectors to communities
and Project Sakura, an initiative to plan new Sakura trees in places where the
tsunami hit.
