The Leadership Council of Long Island was founded in 1984 by Susan Lassen and 
M.L. Galston in response to a devastating famine in Ethiopia. From a small luncheon 
party which raised a few hundred dollars for this cause, the Council now raises and distributes at their Annual Meeting in September, over a quarter of a million 
dollars to the Save the Children programs worldwide.

The Council is made up of a working board of about 25 people, an events committee 
of about 45, and a community advisory committee of men and women from the 
business and educational fields. The working board meets about 10 times a year. 

	Save the Children Leadership Council of Long Island, is a volunteer group committed to supporting the work of the national organization, which creates real and lasting change for children in need in the United States and around the world. The Council promotes the work of Save the Children through fund-raising, education, experience-based advocacy, and the development of public awareness.
	ANNUAL APPEAL As a result of the generosity of our donors this past year, the Council voted to dedicate funds to specific Save the Children programs targeted to impact the neediest children and families in the following countries: CLICK HERE

THE ISLANDERS vs NEW JERSEY DEVILS
team Honors Save the Children

January 17th, 2008 was SAVE THE CHILDREN night at the Nassau Coliseum. The N.Y. ISLANDERS gave us discounted tickets, the proceeds of which went to create lasting change in the lives of children. As a ticket holder, you were also eligible to win a gift from the team. Our Board Members and their children worked hard to sell tickets for a 50/50 Raffle. It was a fun, profitable evening, and we are grateful to our new friends and supporters.
