2 #HCGALA 12th Annual Garden Gala: garden follies 3 Dear Friends,

Fifteen years ago, we embarked on a simple journey to equip our nation’s youth with tools and resources to improve their physical and mental health. These lessons, skillfully delivered by our coordinators, ultimately teach students that they are accountable for their future. In turn, we’ve discovered and addressed the deeper issues teens face every day such as self-esteem and body image, drugs and addiction, and social media loneliness. Our mission has since flourished, to not only serve our youth’s physical and mental health, but empower them and their communities to be resilient in their efforts to enjoy healthier, happier lives. This is what we’ve gathered this evening to celebrate, at our 12th Annual Garden Gala. Your support is cultivating new programs and initiatives for us to ensure our youth is receiving the guidance they deserve. Through such programs, we have impacted over 3 million students since 2003. We are so grateful you have joined us in this extraordinary journey for the well-being of our future.

Thank you for your continued support.

Lisa Oz Mehmet C. Oz, MD

Daniel Lubetzky, founder and CEO of KIND, is on a mission to make the world a little kinder one snack and act at a time. Maker of delicious and nutritious foods, KIND created a new healthy snacking category with the introduction of its first fruit & nut bars in 2004. Established as not-only-for-profit, KIND is also committed to using its business as a vehicle for social change. Its KIND Movement inspires everyday acts of kindness (three million and counting!), and The KIND Foundation works to create kinder, more empathetic communities. Most recently, the Foundation unveiled Empatico – an idea that Daniel conceived more than a decade ago. Empatico is a $20MM multi-year initiative that will broaden kids’ world views through meaningful interactions with peers across the globe.

Drawing on his experiences with KIND and more than two decades in the food industry, Daniel founded an independent organization called Feed the Truth in 2017. This nonprofit seeks to improve public health by making truth, transparency and integrity the foremost values in today’s food system. A social entrepreneur working to build bridges between people, Daniel is also the founder of PeaceWorks Inc., a business that fosters cooperative ventures among neighbors in the Middle East. Additionally, he co-founded Maiyet, a fashion brand that partners with artisans to promote entrepreneurship in developing economies, and the OneVoice Movement, an international grassroots effort that amplifies the voices of moderate Israelis and Palestinians seeking to end the conflict.

His commitment to creating economically sustainable and socially impactful business has been lauded by BusinessWeek, Time, Fast and Entrepreneur. Daniel has also been recognized by the World Economic Forum and the Skoll Foundation, and in 2015 President Barack Obama and Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker named him a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. In 2017, Daniel was celebrated as a Common Ground awardee for his accomplishments in conflict resolution, community building and peacebuilding. He is the author of the Times bestseller Do the KIND Thing.

Daniel is married with four children and enjoys spending time with his family and practicing magic.

Elvis Duran GOLDEN HEART HONOREE Host of the nationally syndicated radio program Elvis Duran and the Morning Show

Elvis Duran considers himself the host of the party on his national radio show, which is the most listened to Top 40 morning show in the U.S. that consistently ranks #1 across multiple demographics and top markets. Broadcasting live from New York’s Z100, Duran and his on-air crew entertain listeners with up-to-the-minute entertainment and pop culture news, celebrity guests, hit songs, and regular features such as the gossipy “Entertainment Report,” the news-worthy “Headlines,” and the ever-popular prank “Phone Taps.”

The radio industry has honored Duran and his program with several awards and nominations such as “Best Morning Show” by New York’s Achievement in Radio Awards and “Personality of the Year” by the Radio Music Awards. Additionally, Duran served as an event chair for the GLAAD Awards in 2012 where he was also honored for his contributions to the community. After his incredible life transformation, Elvis was profiled in People Magazine regarding his inspiring weight loss story. Referred to as “the most important radio DJ in the country” by Huffington Post, Duran was named ‘Broadcaster of the Year’ by the New York State Broadcasters Association. In 2015, he received the prestigious honor of being inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame.

Beyond the studio, Duran is a committed philanthropist. This past April, Elvis was asked to be the Grand Marshal for Miami Beach Pride, and invited Iggy Azalea to be his Guest of Honor throughout the weekend’s festivites. The entire Morning Show hosted a fundraising event to benefit the LGBTQ community. He’s the co-chair of Rosie’s Theater Kids, and, with a soft spot for animals, he serves on the board of directors for Rock & Rawhide.

In addition, Duran is a contributor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Robin Hood Foundation, Alex’s Lemonade Stand, and Musicians On Call. As an advocate for the LGBT community, Elvis also works closely with GLAAD and takes part in their national Spirit Day campaign.

The “maitre’d of the mornings” loves traveling the world and enjoys great movies, books, wines and restaurants. He’s also hooked on such TV shows such as The Crown, American Horror Story, and Black Mirror. Easily accessible, Duran regularly chats with fans on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
