If you have any questions or concerns, please contact John DeLuca at 401-272-7474. Th ank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you and to honoring an outstanding humanitarian. Sincerely, Sincerely, John F. DeLuca Robert Mello Executive Director President OLIVIA CULPO Miss Universe 2012 Recipient of the DaVinci Center Community Humanitarian Award 2014 Olivia Frances Culpo, a very special lady who comes from a very special and loving family of fi ve children and two outstanding parents, Susan and Peter, both of whom are professional musicians, has accomplished a voluminous amount of humanitarian works in her young lifetime – humanitarian works that span the globe. Morocco, India, Indonesia, Ecuador, England, the Bahamas, and of course her own United States of America are only a few locations throughout the world where Olivia has left her mark of love and compassion for the poor and disadvantaged, assisting them in overcoming their plight. She could be found in Jakarta or India speaking to youth on HIV/AIDS prevention, and in Bridgehampton, New York zealously playing cello to raise funds for the Rush foundation. In India she raised awareness regarding female infanticide and female empowerment and also visited the Tihar Jail inmates. It is for these and for many more accomplishments that we honor her. Of course Olivia could be honored for her many other achievements. As an accomplished cellist, who began taking cello lessons at age seven, she went on to perform with the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, the Rhode Island All-State Orchestra, and the Boston Youth Symphony. As an adult, she performed her cellist talent at Boston Symphony Hall, Carnegie Hall, and in overseas theaters. We could honor her for her academic accomplishments, such as her being a member of the National Honor Society as a graduate of St. Mary’s Academy at Bay View in 2010. Again during her enrollment at Boston University, Olivia made the Dean’s List every semester. All of these are worthy of acclaim. On September 18, 2011 Miss Culpo entered the Miss Rhode Island competition and was crowned Miss Rhode Island-USA 2012 on that day. Next, she entered the Miss USA 2012 competition and was crowned Miss USA on June 3, 2012. Finally, as we know, Olivia represented the United States of America in the Miss Universe Pageant on December 19, 2012, where she won the competition and was crowned Miss Universe 2012. Th roughout all of the competitions, Olivia’s outstanding musical talent, her shining personality, and her solid value system stood out from the crowd. Olivia then utilized the power of the crown of Miss Universe to assist her fellow human beings so desperately in need of a voice to be heard for their cause, and that is when Olivia Frances Culpo stood tall and courageously, sometimes in the face of adversity, to advocate for the disadvantaged. For this we honor Olivia. May God Bless her with many more years of good health to be able to carry on her corporal works of mercy for the betterment of humanity. “Beauty is found in the way you treat others.” Olivia Culpo Th e DaVinci Center for Community Progress, Inc. 2014 Corporate Sponsor and Advertising Contract Community Humanitarian Award Dinner SPONSOR LEVELS TITLE SPONSOR - $25,000 Receives all the following benefi ts which will enhance your company’s recognition level: Prominent full-page inside cover ad in ad/program book of the evening Company logo in beginning and end of video shown at the DaVinci Center Community Humanitarian Award Dinner Company logo included on DaVinci Center website for one year Two (2) free tables of 10 – front and center Name and logo in all radio and T.V. advertising Verbal public recognition the evening of the event Plaque of Recognition presented at the event Display poster recognition at the event Admission into Special “Meet and Greet” with Olivia for 20 persons MAJOR SPONSOR - $10,000 Receives all the following benefi ts which will enhance your company’s recognition level: Prominent full-page ad in ad/program book of the evening Company logo in beginning and end of video shown at the DaVinci Center Community Humanitarian Award Dinner One (1) free table of 10 – front and center Name and logo in all radio and T.V. advertising Verbal public recognition the evening of the event Plaque of Recognition presented at the event Display poster recognition at the event Company logo included on DaVinci Center website for 6 months Admission into Special “Meet and Greet” with Olivia for 10 persons CORPORATE FRIEND - $5,000 Eight (8) Complimentary Guests Verbal public recognition the evening of the event Full page ad in program book Recognition in video shown at the DaVinci Center Community Humanitarian Award Dinner Plaque of Recognition presented at the event Display poster recognition at the event Company logo included on DaVinci Center website for 3 months Admission into Special “Meet and Greet” with Olivia for 8 persons COMMUNITY PARTNER - $2,500 Six (6) Complimentary Guests Verbal public recognition the evening of the event Full page ad in program book.

Lee&Kwan_21 (TEIXEIRA).DOCX (Do Not Delete) 11/26/2014 2:20 PM The Trans Panic Defense: Masculinity, Heteronormativity, and the Murder of Transgender Women Cynthia Lee* and Peter Kwan** When a heterosexual man is charged with murdering a transgender woman with whom he has been sexually intimate, one defense strategy is to assert what has been called the trans panic defense. The defendant claiming this defense will say that the discovery that the victim was biologically male provoked him into a heat of passion causing him to lose self-control. If the jury finds that the defendant was actually and reasonably provoked, it can acquit him of murder and find him guilty of the lesser offense of voluntary manslaughter. The trans panic defense strategy is troubling because it appeals to stereotypes about transgender individuals as sexually deviant and abnormal. In this article, we examine the cultural structures of masculinity that may lead a man to kill a transgender woman with whom he has been sexually intimate.
