The Union League Club is a private social club in New York City. Its fourth and current clubhouse, which opened on February 2, 1931, was designed by Benjamin Wistar Morris, III, and is located at 38 East 37th Street on the corner of Park Avenue in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The building was designated a New York City landmark on October 25, 2011.Union League clubs, which are legally separate but share similar histories and maintain reciprocal links with one another, are also located in Chicago and Philadelphia. Defunct Union League Clubs were located in Brooklyn and New Haven.HistoryThe club dates its founding from February 6, 1863, during the Civil War. Tensions were running high in New York City at the time, because much of the city's governing class, as well as its large Irish immigrant population, bitterly opposed the war and were eager to reach some kind of accommodation with the Confederate States of America. Thus, pro-Union men chose to form their own club, with the twin goals of cultivating "a profound national devotion" and to "strengthen a love and respect for the Union."

It began with a promise from a father to his dying son. In 1973, a high school student named T.J. Martell was battling leukemia. He asked his father, music industry executive Tony Martell, to raise a million dollars for cancer research so that “no one else will have to experience what I am going through.” Although he had no fundraising experience, Tony agreed. Two years later, T.J. died at the age of nineteen, and as Tony explains today, “that put my promise in cement.” Soon after, Tony was joined by many of his musician friends like Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington to hold a fundraiser at Buddy Rich’s nightclub in New York. They raised $50,000 and the T.J. Martell Foundation was born. Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have worked passionately to help provide more than $270 million for leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. We are proud of our long history and our reputation for innovation in fundraising and the research we support.

The Jed Foundation (JED) was founded in 2000 by Phil and Donna Satow after they lost their 20-year-old son, Jed, to suicide. We have been working ever since to make mental health a priority for colleges, college students and their families.
The Foundation raises funds through various efforts, but the primary ones currently are private donations and athlete sponsorship in organized races. Andrea and others have chosen The Dream Hope Believe Foundation as their cause for which they will raise funds via their participation in the NYC Marathon and other similar events. If you are considering running a marathon, participating in a similar event, or just thinking about supporting a charity - we ask you to consider the Foundation as a cause you want to support. Additionally, if you wish to get involved but don’t know how to do so, we are happy to brainstorm together and help formulate a plan. Finally, as mentioned above the really unique and interesting thing about this Foundation will be your ability to participate in the selection process of the grant recipients. We think this is an empowering option that allows our donors to directly see the impact that they have on other people’s lives and to clearly understand the positive ways in which the funds are being used.
Earth Day began in 1970 when a perfect storm of public awareness, political will, and dedicated activism converged to create one of the largest demonstrations in human history. More than 10,000 events engaged 20 million people across America. Everyone from housewives to Hollywood actors took part in the first Earth Day events. Over the years, Earth Day has continued as an annual call to action from classrooms to board rooms. The inclusiveness of the first Earth Day has only grown as Earth Day events have spread around the world. Our organization was founded by a broad coalition of environmental groups to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Earth Day in New York City in 1990. We organized the largest event ever held in Central Park and every year since then have organized large-scale events in landmark locations. We have also grown into year-round programs and partnerships that all aim to bring the enthusiasm and spirit of Earth Day into our daily lives to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st Century.
