The belief that underlies the initiatives of The Lost Bird Project is that art can touch each of us in a way that ideas and intellect alone cannot. At their highest levels, the performing arts and the visual arts have the power to ignite connections and engage on deeper levels. Our hope is that by raising awareness, each of us will hear and respond to our own unique calling and form a better relationship with the earth.

クイーンズ＝ミッドタウン・トンネル（、時々単にミッドタウン・トンネルとも）とはニューヨーク市にあるハイウェイのトンネルおよび有料道路である。このトンネルはイースト川の下を横断しておりロングアイランドのクイーンズ区（が、ロングアイランド・エクスプレスウェイ (Long Island Expressway) の終端）とマンハッタン区（ミッドタウン・マンハッタン地区にある主要な町を横切る大通りの東34丁目と東42丁目の間）を接続している。により設計され、1940年11月15日に開通した。このトンネルはあわせて4車線のトンネル2本からなり、長さはである。このトンネルはかつてを運んだことがある。設計が開始された時、トンネルの費用増加と1939年万国博覧会に間に合うように完成されないという事実に難色を示したを含む何人かの支援者により橋が強く支持された。特にマンハッタン区長のは6車線橋の計画の強力な支援者であった。ニューヨーク市トンネル公社 (New York City Tunnel Authority) の理事のは代替案を全面的に却下した。このトンネルはニューヨーク市が所有し（メトロポリタン・トランスポーテーション・オーソリティの系列政府機関）が運営する。1997年のフィーチャー映画「メン・イン・ブラック」では、トミー・リー・ジョーンズとウィル・スミスが彼らのの車がこのトンネルの天井を上下逆で走行するシーンで主演した。1981年より、このトンネルは毎年春恒例のリングリング・ブラザーズ・アンド・バーナム・アンド・ベイリー・サーカスアニマル・ウォークのために、ある一夜の数時間だけこのトンネルは自動車が進入禁止となる。このサーカスがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで開演する数日前に、象の行進がこのトンネルからマンハッタンへ入り、34丁目へと下りこのアリーナにたどり着くルートで行われる。毎年恒例のこのイベントを楽しみにする人たちがいる一方で、サーカスの動物の扱いに抗議する動物保護団体の注目も集めている。バス路線このトンネルを23の路線が行き来する;これらの路線のうち20路線はこのトンネルを西へ向かう時にのみ使用する。このトンネルを使用するバス路線は、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、（すべてMTAバスによる運行）や（MTAニューヨークシティ・トランジットによる運行）である。BM5、QM7、QM8、QM11、QM25を除き、これらの路線のすべては西へ向かう時にのみこのトンネルを使用する。（これらの路線の大半は東へ向かう時にはエド・コッチ・クイーンズボロ橋を使用する。）

As emerging markets develop and existing economies expand, demand for our Earth's limited resources increases, while greater stress is placed on our already fragile ecosystems. The very air we breathe, water we drink, and food we eat are compromised by the toxins and pollution we create, ironically, while trying to improve our quality of life. Build A Better Planet is committed to promoting sustainable living and environmental awareness. At Build A Better Planet, we believe there is a better way. We believe that new resources could supply ample abundance for all. We believe that, by working with nature, rather than against it, we can all enjoy a higher standard of living. We are dedicated to providing information about alternatives to the status quo, thereby, educating others and providing options which encourage sustainable living, growth, and development, so that we can all enjoy a brighter, healthier future for generations to come.

Started by a small group of family and friends of the mentally ill determined to increase the pace of research to find the causes, better treatments and cures for mental illnesses, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation was originally incorporated in 1981 as the American Schizophrenia Foundation. In 1985, the organization became the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD). In 2011, the organization re-branded itself, becoming the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, awarding NARSAD Grants to fund research in every major area of brain and behavior research for all mental illness. Since awarding the first NARSAD Grant in 1987, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation has awarded more than $360 million to fund more than 5,000 grants to more than 4,000 scientists around the world.

Established in 1911 by Danish-American industrialist Niels Poulson and a group of other forward-thinking leaders from business and education, the American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) was the first international non-governmental society to have as its sole purpose the development of goodwill through educational and cultural exchange. It was designed to meet the needs of its time through fellowships, scholarly exchange, exhibitions, and publications. These programs have grown over the years, and along with the cultural programs at Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, have provided a comprehensive platform for ongoing international exchange between the United States and the Nordic countries. This international work is at the heart of the Foundation’s mission. Each year, ASF awards over $800,000 in fellowships and grants to individual students, scholars, professionals, and artists for study and research in the United States and abroad. To date, some 30,000 Americans and Scandinavians have participated in these and other ASF programs of study, research, or practical training. In October 2000, ASF opened Scandinavia House as a showplace for Nordic culture and life. Since its founding, it has welcomed over 1.5 million visitors, who have come to enjoy exhibitions, performances, lectures, and more. Scandinavia House was financed by the generosity of more than 300 donors from the U.S. and abroad, including individuals, corporations, and foundations, as well as the Nordic governments and the Nordic Council of Ministers. Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, the leading center for Nordic culture in the United States, offers a wide range of programs that illuminate the culture and vitality of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Scandinavia House offerings include diverse exhibitions and film series, as well as concerts and other performances, readings, lectures, symposia, language courses, and children’s activities. Designed by the internationally renowned Polshek Partnership Architects (now Ennead Architects) and inaugurated in October 2000, Scandinavia House is the headquarters of the American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) and the site of ASF’s cultural and educational programming.

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.

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.

A complex of buildings in the heart of New York City, the Morgan Library & Museum began as the private library of financier Pierpont Morgan, one of the preeminent collectors and cultural benefactors in the United States. Today it is a museum, independent research library, music venue, architectural landmark, and historic site. A century after its founding, the Morgan maintains a unique position in the cultural life of New York City and is considered one of its greatest treasures. With the 2006 reopening of its newly renovated campus, designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, and the 2010 refurbishment of the original library, the Morgan reaffirmed its role as an important repository for the history, art, and literature of Western civilization from 4000 B.C. to the twenty-first century.
