Come in out of the sun for a cocktail to help end bullying!

Fundraiser for Tyler Clementi Foundation

In 2010, Tyler Clementi took his own life shortly after being humiliated online by his college roommate. I remember where I was when I first heard his story. Spurred on by this avoidable tragedy and a desire to protect others from feeling bullied and harassed, I am delighted to share that I have joined the Board of Trustees of the Tyler Clementi Foundation.

Please join me for an informal discussion about the Tyler Clementi Foundation’s bullying-prevention initiatives and successes in creating safe spaces for all over cocktails and light bites at our home in the Pines!

July 2, 2017
Noon to 3pm
at 144 Ocean Walk on Fire Island

Please RSVP using the form below by June 30.

Whether or not you are able to attend, please consider supporting this national and impactful organization below.

The Tyler Clementi Foundation works to end bullying in schools, workplaces and faith communities. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
