Heather receives Easter Seals Highest Honour for Disability Services at Yankee Stadium

On Tuesday June 22nd in the legends suite of Yankee Stadium, New York, Easter Seals honoured Heather with their highest award at the Annual Awards Gala that recognizes outstanding leaders for Individuals with Disabilities

New York’s World of Hope Gala was one of the most memorable evenings of the year! More than 220 Ambassadors and supporters attended the highly successful event, which raised over $275, 000 for Easter Seals New York’s vital services and life-changing programs.

The event honoured those who exemplify hope through their invaluable dedication to the Easter Seals New York mission and who have significantly impacted the lives of individuals with disabilities or special needs. Easter Seals New York State Board Member, activist and charity campaigner Heather Mills received the organization’s highest honour, the Lilli and Allan Shedlin Award, for her uncompromising commitment to helping others, her advocacy and generosity. As an Easter Seals New York International Advocate for Children with Disabilities, Heather Mills demonstrated her commitment to helping communities in need.

The organization and the We Live to Give Foundation also honoured philanthropist Arvin Shah. President of Sky Bird Travel and Tours, Arvin Shah, has been instrumental to the Easter Seals New York and We Live to Give’s India Initiative, a program that will strive to enhance educational and medical programs for those living with disabilities or special needs in Indian communities.

The evening also recognized Stephen Katzman, owner of S. Katzman Produce and Co-President of Hunts Point Terminal Produce Cooperative, and Mario Andreani, manager of S. Katzman Produce. Stephen Katzman’s and Mario Andreani’s altruism and humanitarianism has helped Easter Seals New York provide essential services to those with unmet needs throughout the state of New York.

Easter Seals New York is very grateful to our numerous dedicated supporters. We greatly appreciate your tremendous presence and championship. We look forward to celebrating with you at our 2011 gala!
