Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker,
Founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
will be honored with the
ADL
Americanism Award. Regarded as the leader of
the global breast cancer movement, Ambassador Brinker broke
the silence around breast cancer when she founded Susan G.
Komen for the Cure® in 1982, named after her sister who died
from breast cancer at the age of 36. Ambassador Brinker’s
creativity and pioneering efforts in raising awareness led
to programs that were revolutionary at that time.
Since its inception, Susan G.
Komen for the Cure® has funded $2 million to research and
support programs in Israel. Its first international
research grant went to an Israeli institution in 1994, and
in 2010 Komen will hold its first Race for the Cure® in
Jerusalem.
ADL will also present its
prestigious
Haym
Salomon Award
to Harold &
Lila Menowitz and Fred & Sue Menowitz for their
outstanding contributions and dedication to the Jewish
community, and for enriching the lives of so many.
Charles Krauthammer ,
Pulitzer-Prize winning syndicated
Washington Post
columnist and FOX News contributor, will present the keynote
address to approximately 250 guests, including members of
ADL’s National Executive Committee, the League’s highest
policy making body.
The
Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world’s
leading organization fighting anti-Semitism
through
programs and services
that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.
