CANVAS Premier & Benefit Screening for Fountain House, No Kidding, Me Too! & The Creative Coalition : Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 6:15 P.M., The French Institute, 55 East 59th Street, Between Park & Madison Avenues, New York City, NY. Fountain House joined forces with The Creative Coalition and No Kidding, Me Too! to sponsor the New York premiere and benefit screening of "CANVAS" A Film By Joseph Greco, Starring Marcia Gay Harden, Joe Pantoliano & Devon Gearhart at The French Institute. Canvas, a film written and directed by Joseph Greco, is the story of a family coping with the mother’s schizophrenia; it is loosely based on Mr. Greco’s childhood experience. Canvas won numerous awards on the film festival circuit and has been hailed for its authentic performances and its honest and balanced portrayal of a family in crisis – the heartbreak and the humor. The film puts a very human face on mental illness, a condition still widely misunderstood and stigmatized in society and in the media. Canvas stars Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden, Emmy Award winner Joe Pantoliano and newcomer Devon Gearhart, all of whom were in attendance at the premiere. Also walking the red carpet at The French Institute were Eli Wallach, Kerry Washington, and Giancarlo Esposito. The film played to an enthusiastic audience of 230; the screening was followed by a question and answer session with the director and principal actors and a cocktail reception. Kenn Dudek, President of Fountain House, opened the evening and spoke of the organization, “Fountain House helps people get a life.” An acknowledged leader in the recovery of men and women with mental illness, Ms. Harden and Mr. Pantaliano spent a day at there while they were researching their roles for the film. “When Marcia and I left that day,” he recalls, “I turned to her and said, ‘I can identify with these folks more than I dis-identify with them.’” Mr. Pantaliano created the co-sponsoring organization No Kidding, Me Too to enlist celebrities as mental health advocacy spokespersons. In her speech Robin Bronk, Executive Director of The Creative Coalition, underscored the organization’s commitment to the issue of destigmatizing mental illness. Report by Fountain House.

The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City hosts 4th Annual Fete de Swifty Benefit : Tuesday, October 2, 2007, 6-9 PM, 73rd Street, Between Lexington & Third Avenues, Manhattan, New York. 2007 Annual Fete de Swifty, to benefit public programs supported by the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City. This year's event will benefit the Family Justice Initiative,a unique public-private program administered by the Mayor's Office to Combat Domestic Violence. Honorary Chairs: Nicole Kidman and Joe and Ali Torre. Benefit Committee: Liz Smith, Stephen Attoe, Robert Caravaggi, David Patrick Columbia, Deborah Krulewitch, Christopher Meigher, Gillian Miniter, Peter Rogers, Liz Finkle Sans, & Robert Speyer. Mayor Michael Bloomberg wowed a crowd of people on the Upper East Side that is not so easily wowed...by his mere presence. When Liz Smith graciously introduced him as the next President of the United States, all this editor could think is "If Only....If only Mayor Mike would throw his hat into the 2008 Presidential race ......and could do for the United States what he has done for New York." Mayor Michael Bloomberg is undoubtedly the best Mayor of New York City in my lifetime. And if he is not the next President, may he annoint an appropriate successor to continue the Bloomberg legacy and remain active on the Philanthropy circuit in New York City.
