From Green Drinks NYC, Founder
Good day ~
I’ve been in touch with Bonnie Calvin, the TED Prize Wish Producer who thought it best to reach out to you directly.聽 I founded an organization here in NYC called Green Drinks, a monthly networking event for environmentally-minded professionals.聽 Each year we host a big holiday benefit focused on an environmental issue of great importance – this year our focus is on “Our Oceans” with Dr. Sylvia Earle as our featured speaker!聽 As you all know she was the 2009 TED Prize recipient, and we want to help get her voice and her wish out deeper into our green network of 13,000 in Manhattan.
We have a stellar event,聽 working with producer Colin Miles (from David Copperfield) in creating a multimedia holiday spectacle. The show will include New York’s finest working in the arts & environment today. The evening will begin with a VIP HOUR featuring a panel lecture with Sylvia Earle, Sarah Chasis from the NRDC Oceans Program, Adrienne Espisito from a local NY non-profit called Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Carl Safina President of Blue Ocean Institute.
The show will begin at 8:05pm with Cirque de Soleil聽 performer Alessandro Pellicani composing “OCEAN SPIRIT”.聽 Welcoming the evening will be our emcee Cristina Carlson, a former Rockette and Host on The Travel Channel then a longer dance performance by Buglisi Dance Theatre.聽 Carl Safina will introduce Dr. Earle who will enlighten the room with her incredible insights on Ocean protection.聽 She will be available for a book signing after the show.
We welcome the extended TED community to join us in supporting her by purchasing tickets for $50.聽 We welcome your support in making this event the best it can be.
It will take place this coming Tuesday Dec 8th at The Prince George Ballroom (15 East 27th Street between Fifth and Madison).聽 A VIP cocktail hour will begin at 6pm.聽 Doors open to the public at 7pm.聽 Details and information on the event can be found here.
Please come join us for a spectacular event in support of Our Oceans and Dr. Earle!
Warmly,
Margaret Lydecker
