Seeds of Peace

Featured Event | 2010 Benefit Dinner with David Remnick

NEW YORK | New Yorker magazine Editor David Remnick addressed more than 300 philanthropists, dignitaries and community leaders at the Annual Seeds of Peace Benefit Dinner at the Plaza Hotel on May 26.

The evening was hosted by Christine Baranski, award winning star of stage and screen.

Remnick, a Pulitzer-Prize winning author whose latest work is The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama, said that Seeds of Peace turns "other people—the great scary ‘other’—into human beings, one person at a time."

"It is about learning to talk across the great gulfs of language, culture and politics."

The Dinner raised over $1M for Seeds of Peace programs.

Several Seeds of Peace graduates from the conflict regions also spoke memorably on their experience in the Seeds of Peace program and the challenges they face as leaders in their own communities.
