Tuesday night we bestowed our treasured "Red Bandana" Award upon Paul Napolitano, Co Chair of our East End Group.

The Award is in memory of Welles Remy Crowther, son of Jefferson Crowther, Co Chair of our Open House Group. Welles was an annonymous hero on 9/11 who perished after saving 18 souls while wearing a red bandana to protect his breathing against the smoke. It was only later that he was identified by his signature red bandana.

The Award recognizes the selfless sacrifice epitomized by Welles and was the inspirational of Steve Lichtenstein, Chair of our Towers Group.

Last year the initial Red Bandana Award was bestowed upon Cheri Elferis for taking a needy youth into her home and setting him on the right path.

This year Paul, who shy's away from recognition and accolades,
performed as a "Super Hero" for countless Gothamites during the horrible aftermath of Super Storm Sandy. 

For his selfless contributions and many others he has kept under the radar we salute you Paul. You epitomize our mantra. For you it is far better to give than receive.

Thank you Paul for all you do!
