Peter C. Alderman Foundation Honors Eve Ensler Tonight, 4/30
By: BWW News Desk Apr. 30, 2012
The Peter C. Alderman Foundation (PCAF) was founded by Elizabeth and Dr. Stephen Alderman in 2003 in memory of their 25-year-old son Peter, who was murdered by terrorists on September 11, 2001, as he attended a conference at the World Trade Center. PCAF, a 501c3, was established to provide mental healthcare to people whose psyches are scarred by violence and trauma due to civil war, ethnic cleansing or genocide – including victims of atrocities in northern Uganda following the LRA's and Joseph Kony's reign of terror.
Eve Ensler, Tony Award®-winning playwright and founder of V-Day: A Global Movement to End Violence Against Women and Girls, will be honored with the 2012 Peter C. Alderman Humanitarian Award for her work to end violence against women and girls worldwide.
Susan Ayot, PCAF Psychiatric Nurse and Team Leader, Gulu, Uganda, will receive the Sarlo Foundation Leadership Award.
Erica Hill, co-anchor of CBS News' CBS This Morning, will serve as emcee.
The event will take place at The Water Club, 500 East 30th Street, on the East River, NYC tonight, April 30. Cocktails: 6:30 p.m. Dinner and Awards: 7:30 p.m.
Open to the public; Tickets begin at $250 per person.
