Dear Subscriber,
The countdown to our 45th Anniversary gala has begun! It's not too late to join us on November 18, 2021 to honor four distinguished women who exemplify the diversity, ingenuity and grit of New Yorkers.
Our honoree's work and contributions to New York City have furthered our mission - to inform and empower citizens to create a more equitable and just city. The Hall of Fame Honorees are: Afua Atta-Mensah - Chief of Programs Community Change, former Executive Director, Community Voices Heard, Jenna Flanagan - Host of MetroFocus, The WNET Group; Christine Quinn - President & CEO, Win; and, Kathryn Wylde - President & CEO, Partnership for New York City. They will be joining a dozen previous honorees to establish our Hall of Fame on November 18.
Previous City Limits honorees: Wayne Barrett, Preet Bharara, Adam Blumenthal, Richard Buery, Angela Fernandez, Laura Flanders, Henry Garrido, Elizabeth Cooke Levy, Gabe Pressman, Tom Robbins, and Sean Strub, will also be inducted into the City Limits Hall of Fame.
To highlight the accomplishments of our own staff and board, we have instituted two Fellowship programs for the event to honor Jarrett Murphy and Mark Edmiston, whose long-term contributions and impact have helped make City Limits a sustainable, investigative, award-winning, independent local news outlet. These fellowships will directly help us to fund fellows in the following areas:
The Jarrett Murphy Fellowship in Climate & Health Reporting
In honor of Jarrett Murphy's extraordinary 14-year tenure with City Limits, including as the newsroom leader, this fellowship is being named for his contributions to reporting in New York, focussing on Murphy's passion: the effects of climate change and health care for New Yorkers.
The Mark Edmiston Fellowship in Media & Business Innovation
Following a storied career in media and publishing, including many years as the chair of City Limits' Board of Trustees, we are establishing a fellowship in Mark Edmiston's name to support an emerging business leader to focus on the organization's new products initiatives and strategic business development.
City Limits is raising $25,000 per Fellowship, to make a donation to either Fellowship please go to citylimitsgala.org.
We hope you can join us for our 45th Anniversary and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Thursday, November 18, 2021, 6:30 - 9:30 pm at the Stanley Kaplan Penthouse at the Lincoln Center. Tickets are $350 each and tax-deductible. For more information please go to citylimitsgala.org. Tickets to attend in-person are very limited due to capacity controls, it is important to act quickly as there are only a few tickets left for sale. If you are unable to attend, please consider donating now at citylimitsgala.org or passing the information to friends and colleagues who would like to support and/or attend our gala.
As a nonprofit, City Limits relies on foundation support, sponsorships, advertising, and donations from people like you. Please help City Limits keep doing its vital work. We urgently need your support to raise $300,000 with this celebration so that we may continue in our mission and serve New York City for the next 45 years and beyond.
