The 2010 Anthony D. Duke Founder's Medal will be presented at the Boys & Girls Harbor 18th Salute to Achievement at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel on June 14, 2010 to Marcia L. Goldstein, Chair of Business Finance & Restructuring of Weill, Gotshal & Manges, LLP Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and pianist, composer, educator and GRAMMY award winner Arturo O'Farrill. Initiated in 1999, The Founder's Medal is given to those individuals who follow in the tradition of Boys & Girls Harbor's remarkable founder Anthony “Tony" Drexel Duke by advocating and working to advance the American dream of equal access to quality education cultural enrichment and opportunity for all.
Anthony Drexel Duke was born into three prominent American families--the Duke's of North Carolina and the Drexel's and Biddle's of Philadelphia. Despite his own personal privilege, ensconced in a comfortable life with multiple homes, trips to Europe staying at the “best" places, and attending a private boarding school, he was a young man unable to ignore social inequity as the nation struggled through the great depression. His sense of moral obligation to help children less fortunate by providing educational opportunities set the course of his life and fueled the development of Boys & Girls Harbor from a small summer camp for boys into the renowned Boys & Girls Harbor now celebrating 73 years of empowering children and their families through education, cultural enrichment and character development.
ANTHONY D. DUKE FOUNDER'S MEDAL HONOREES
Honoree Marcia L. Goldstein is chair of the Business Finance & Restructuring department at Weil, Gotshal & Manges and a member of the firm's Management Committee. Ms. Goldstein has practiced with the firm for over thirty years in all areas of domestic and international debt restructuring as well as crisis management and corporate governance. In a field primarily male dominated, she is an inspiration to all women, and in 2009, she was named on of the “50 Most Powerful Women in New York" by Crain's New York Business and in 2008; she was named one of the “50 Women to Watch" by the Wall Street Journal. Ms. Goldstein serves on the Board of InMotion a nonprofit that provides free legal services to low-income women in New York City. Their services are designed to address the unique needs of women who suffer from abuse--most of their clients are survivors of domestic violence living in immigrant communities who are isolated by language and cultural barriers. In addition she is Chair of the Advisory Council for Cornell Law School and serves on the Dean's Special Leadership Committee.
Honoree Arturo O'Farrill is a pianist, composer, educator, GRAMMY award winner and most important, a tireless advocate committed to bringing the magic of big-band Latin jazz to thousands of new listeners every year. In 2002, at the invitation of Wynton Marsalis, Mr. O'Farrill created the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra for Jazz (ALJO) at Lincoln Center. His debut album with the Orchestra Una Noche Inolvidable earned a GRAMMY award nomination in 2006. In 2007, the ALJO left Lincoln Center and aided by the support of prominent leaders from the worlds of jazz and Latin culture, O'Farrill launched the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance (ALJA) a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the music and heritage of big band Latin Jazz, supporting its performance for new audiences, and educating young people in the understanding and performance of this important cultural treasure. The Alliance maintains a world-class collection of Latin jazz musical scores and recordings, provides institutional support for the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, and provides education programs for young musicians and new audiences, by providing free or reduced-price tickets to large numbers of low-income individuals, especially youth and senior citizens, through collaborations with nonprofit organizations and educational institutions. Mr. O'Farrill and members of the Afro-Latin Jazz orchestra also perform regularly in communities that are underserved by other performing arts organizations. In 2009, the orchestra won a GRAMMY for their album, “Song for Chico," on Zoho Records.
