CARNEGIE MEDAL OF PHILANTHROPY

The Andrew Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy is awarded to one or more individual, every two years, who dedicate their private wealth to public good and sustained careers as philanthropists. Chicago is excited to have two recipients from notable families as recipients of the award this year. The Crown Family and Pritzker Family.
The Carnegie Award was established in December 2010 by 20 of the institutions Andrew Carnegie established worldwide.
Mr. Carnegie is an example to many wealthy philanthropists today who dedicate part of their lives to giving back.
I find this very refreshing amidst news of corporate greed and occupy(insert city name), there are people  who share their wealth. The crown and Pritzker family have a long history of donating money to different causes in Chicago and I hope they continue and more people should see them as an example making a difference and spreading their wealth.

The other winners were: The Danforth Family, Fiona and Stanley Druckenmiller, Fred Kavli, Evelyn and Leonard Lauder, Jo Carole and Ronald Lauder, Li Ka-Shing, Pierre and Pamela Omidyar and The PEW Charitable Trust. Past recipients have included: Brooke Astor, NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Heinz Family, Ted Turner, Gates Family.

Grammys RECAP

I stayed up wayyy past my bedtime and tweeted through most of the Grammys. There were highlights, lowlights and some OMG WTF moments


HIGHLIGHTS: 
Pink's outfit and performance (#1 inspiration to stick to that workout schedule) IT WAS HOTT!

Lady Gaga opening with Elton John =MAJOR FIERCE 

LOWLIGHTS: Beyonce's performance had me wanting more. The song she performed "If I were a boy" was much dated than other stuff she has out now. Her shoes were amazing though

OMG WTF Taylor Swift winning Album of the Year was the biggest shocker of the night! Congrats to her but for some reason flashbacked to LeAnn Rimes at the Grammys hoping her career doesn't peak from that
