about the event Cupcakes & Cocktails is the most important fundraising activity undertaken

by Long Island Children’s Museum annually. The event is recognized as a unique undertaking – bringing the Museum’s high energy, creativity and play-based focus to life for our supporters. The goal has always been for grown-ups to experience the magic and wonder that children enjoy at LICM every day.

Over the years, whether in-person or virtual, the Museum staff and trustees have ensured that Cupcakes & Cocktails would enable supporters, attendees or viewers to experience the creativity and interactions that LICM creates for families and schools year round.

Guests experience live music, try their hand at artistic endeavors and challenge themselves and others at classic games. The “try-it” approach is one that our young visitors are very familiar with as they Explore, Play and Create every day throughout the Museum’s 40,000+-square-feet of dynamic learning environments.

A continuous cocktail party and an active Auction Gallery keep spirits high as supporters from across all industries come together with a common cause of supporting children’s development and sparking their curiosity, creativity and a love of learning.

a message from our co-chairs Welcome to Cupcakes & Cocktails 2021.

Every day, around the world, people evaluate Return on Investment (“ROI”) and overall value before making a financial decision. Should I invest? Greenlight a project? Take a chance on a new idea? We calculate ROI and value in our personal lives as well. Should I volunteer my time to that cause? Say yes when asked to head a committee or join a local board? Donate to a fundraiser, support an event.

The ROI on Cupcakes & Cocktails is better than any blue-chip investment you’ll ever receive – your investment directly supports tremendous value through the creation of the next generation of scientists, artists, educators and entrepreneurs. It supports Museum programs that provide kindergarten readiness, rich experiences in art and culture, science education, and events and accommodations for children with a range of special needs. It supports our children’s well-being … emotionally, socially and intellectually.

We each made that calculation when it came to Long Island Children’s Museum, joining the board, chairing committees, and seeing firsthand how important this institution is to the overall health of our community. This makes our job of asking others to join us in supporting LICM’s mission so easy.

LICM is not the only passion the three of us share. Collectively we’ve been cheering on the Islanders for 130 years and are thrilled to be celebrating Jon Ledecky, a driving force in the team’s resurgence and the community’s growth. He embodies the ideals of our Community Leadership Award and is a role model of corporate philanthropy.

Interestingly, the words used repeatedly to describe Jon Ledecky…. charismatic, hard-working, cheerleader, also describe our 2021 Great Friend to Kids recipient, Lynnette Carr-Hicks. She has inspired her students to new heights of musical and academic success as she nurtures their talents, dreams and creates a path to allow them to achieve them.

Thank you for keeping the interests of our region’s children at the forefront of your giving decisions. The ROI and value we all receive for supporting LICM is immeasurable.

Thank you to all our sponsors, underwriters, auction donors and ticket buyers – an amazing team who rally to support LICM’s community efforts year after year.

Thank you to the Museum staff and our fellow Trustees for the programs they develop, for the smiles and welcomes offered to every visitor and for the relationships they forge. Thank you for bringing our mission and values to life… here in this building, in our neighborhood and increasingly across our county and community.

a letter from the museum president and board chair Last year we came to you virtually, just weeks after the Museum reopened following six months of closure. Capacity restrictions and social distancing were in place, but we were able to welcome back visitors who needed all that the Museum provides.

Children and their adults were eager to reconnect with each other. Our staff was energized by the excitement they saw on visitors’ faces as they skipped through the doors. Hearing visitor stories about choosing the Museum as their location for long-awaited reunions with family members and friends warmed our hearts.

A year later, the Museum’s value to families and schools has never been more evident; its role as the anchor that brings the community together is crystal clear. We are focused on what we do best - connecting children to the power of play and its foundational role as a learning tool.

Play inspires curiosity and creativity. It allows children to experiment and problemsolve without judgment or fear of failure. It’s an important remedy for isolation, anxiety and worry as we emerge from a pandemic.

Play matters! Now more than ever.

The last year has seen LICM move, step by step, from survival mode toward a brighter future. A future we can share with the community, thanks to you! Your financial support of this event, and every daily donation we receive no matter its size, is critical to help us provide the resources and programs that nurture our children and support their grownups.

Enjoy a night of celebration ...LICM-style, as we honor two inspiring individuals who are catalysts for change in our community

great friend to kids award

Lynnette Carr-Hicks “Teachers affect eternity, no one knows where their influence stops.”

Long Island-born and raised, Lynnette Carr-Hicks’ life story highlights music’s transformative role in her life and in the lives of students she has inspired.

Lynnette has worked with the best in the music business, including Lalah Hathaway, Roy Hargrove, Antonio Hart, Phil Collins and Al Jarreau. She has displayed her talent in numerous Broadway & Off Broadway musicals.

Her industry success led the Westbury School District to reach out to her in 2000 to create a high school show choir; starting her move into teaching. In 2007 she moved on to teach at Uniondale High School and in 2010 she created and founded the nationally-acclaimed Uniondale High School Show Choir “Rhythm of The Knight.”

Lynnette had no idea that she was creating a “family” as well as a choir with the establishment of “Rhythm of the Knight.” The choir provides needed support and structure for students facing difficult circumstances. She has earned the title “mom” from choir members for her dedication to them and for her generosity in covering school supplies, meals and costumes when needed. Lynnette is most proud that every Rhythm of the Knight member has graduated and gone on to college.

legends Ben Vereen, Barry Manilow, Kenny Rogers and the rock group Foreigner. In 2019, the choir partnered with the Nassau Coliseum as their featured choir for special events, and were able to meet Jon Ledecky when one of their videos premiered at a NY Islanders game.

As a result of her achievements, Lynnette Carr-Hicks has received many awards and honors. She is the recipient of the MusicEd Idol award from the Give a Note Foundation and 21st Century Fox, presented to music educators from across the nation who have “inspired their students to reach higher and dream bigger.” She was the recipient of the Sojourner Truth Award from the National Association of Negro Business & Professional Women’s Club and the Women’s Trailblazer Award from Nassau County. In 2018, she was elected to the Long Island Music Hall of Fame as a “Music Educator of Note;” making history as the first African American educator to ever win the award.

Long Island Children’s Museum is proud to present Lynnette Carr-Hicks with the Great Friend to Kids Award for her unstoppable commitment to “changing children’s lives, one note at a time.”

On April 21, 2018 Rhythm of the Knight won the Grand Champion award at the Fame Show Choir Nationals Championship Series in Chicago. They were the first minority show choir to ever win the show choir nationals.

This incredible choir has been seen on the TODAY Show, the Steve Harvey Show, CNN, Good Day NY, Fox & Friends, Good Day New York, ABC “Here and Now,” the New York Times, Newsday and local cable stations. They have also performed with music

community leader award

jon ledecky

“Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future. Go there. People will follow.”

– Seth Godin – Jon Ledecky demonstrated his values and his commitment to our community at his first meeting after becoming co-owner of the New York Islanders.

“I think that a team is the fabric of a community, and you can do things through a sports team that are difficult to do otherwise. There’s so much that a team can do to forward a community’s agenda. It’s a place where fans of all different economic strata can get together and come together in a community.”

That announcement made him an immediate hit with the Islander’s fan base, the region’s business sector and Long Island Children’s Museum, who recognized Ledecky as an important ally.

Jon’s commitment to community runs deep and can be traced back to his childhood days in Bayside, Queens. The circle of friends he formed at the age of the Museum’s audience shared his interests in sports, theater and student government. (Skills he has called on throughout his career.) The bonds remain strong to this day and the friends can always be counted on to support each other’s success.

His initial foray into professional sports ownership occurred in 1999 when, with partner Ted Leonsis, he bought the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League and an interest in the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball Association. Jon later sold his partnership interest and started a foundation that dedicated itself to the education of inner-city children in Boston, New York and Washington. In 2014, he and Scott D. Malkin became minority owners of the New York Islanders; assuming ma jority ownership in 2016.

Jon Ledecky is a private equity investor who has been the co-founder or initial investor in companies that have raised over $20 billion in financing. He founded U.S. Office Products in 1994 and by 1997 the Company had become the fastest entrant ever in the history of the Fortune 500 with annualized sales of nearly $4 billion. U.S. Office Products owned Mail Boxes, Etc. (now the UPS Store) and several other brands that eventually became independent public and private companies. He has served on over 20 public company boards.

Jon is an honors graduate of Harvard College and graduated from Harvard Business School.

He served on the National Commission on Entrepreneurship and at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He has also been honored as the Anti-Defamation League Man of the Year and was the International Franchise Association’s “Free Enterprise Award” winner. His niece Katie Ledecky is a three-time Olympian (2012, 2016, 2020) and 10-time Olympic medalist (7 golds, 3 silvers). Jon is a Trustee of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation.

The Islanders move to UBS Arena is generating excitement among fans and financial forecasters alike. The arena will provide not only a new beginning for the beloved home team, but an economic boom for Nassau County and Long Island. The $1.5 billion project is expected to generate roughly $25 billion in economic activity over the next two decades.

Long Island Children’s Museum is proud to recognize Jon Ledecky for his commitment to building community and driving economic development for the region.

SPecial Guest bios Music Program Notes The Dave Baron Quartet is an ensemble of graduates from the Juilliard School. They will perform wellknown jazz standards and standards from the Great American Songbook.

Dave Baron, Bass, Leader: “In case the listener needs a reminder of how wonderful an upright bass can sound, I hope that they will take the opportunity to listen to Dave Baron.” – Ron Carter Everyone has a story to tell. Jazz bassist Dave Baron lets his instrument do the talking. He has demonstrated his skills supporting such jazz luminaries as Herbie Hancock, Eric Reed, Joe Lovano, Peter Bernstein, Joe Magnarelli, Benny Green, Jimmy Greene, Wycliffe Gordon, Walt Weiskopf, Lew Tabackin, Mary Stallings, and many others. In 2009, Baron was selected as one of 15 semi-finalists from around the world for the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Bass Competition. As part of the competition, he performed at Baird Auditorium at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History with drummer Carl Allen and pianist Geoff Keezer. In 2011, Baron won second place for the International Society of Bassists’ Scott LaFaro Jazz Competition. David has toured around the world with numerous groups in places such as Italy, Australia, Korea, Russia, Romania, Costa Rica, and the Cayman Islands. Baron has studied with many great jazz bassists including Ron Carter, Reuben Rogers, Ray Drummond, and classical bassist James VanDemark. David holds a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media from the Eastman School of Music and a master’s degree in Jazz Performance from the Juilliard School. He maintains a busy performing and recording schedule and just released his debut record entitled “Introducing Dave Baron.” He currently resides in New York City.

Adam Birnbaum, Piano: Adam Birnbaum is emerging as one of the top young voices in jazz piano. Since arriving on the New York scene in 2003, he has become increasingly prominent performing in clubs and festivals around the world. A diverse performer, Adam is a member of The Al Foster Quartet, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society as well as frequently performing with the likes of Cecile McLorin Salvant, Regina Carter, Terell Stafford and many others.

Adam’s early education took place in Boston. In 2001 Adam became a member of the inaugural class of Jazz Studies at the Juilliard School. After graduating in 2003, Adam won the American Jazz Piano Competition in May 2004 to become the American Pianists Association’s Cole Porter fellow in Jazz. Since then Adam has established a busy performing career as a sideman and as a leader.

“Three Of A Mind,” Adam’s latest album as a leader, received four stars and an Editor’s Pick in Downbeat magazine and was hailed as “an eloquent dispatch from the heart of the contemporary piano trio tradition” by the New York Times. Adam is an Assistant Professor of Jazz at SUNY Purchase and a Steinway Artist.

SPecial Guest bios Zach Adelman, Drums: Juilliard drummer Zach Adleman has performed at Carnegie Hall, the 57th Annual Grammy Awards After Parties, and the Newport Jazz Festival, alongside jazz luminaries Wynton Marsalis and Randy Brecker. He holds a GRAMMY for participation on Ted Nash’s “Presidential Suite,” and is the first place winner of the 2017 J.C Heard National Drum Competition. In addition to touring Italy, Russia, and Switzerland, Zach has served on the faculty at the Jazz Institute at Brevard in North Carolina. Zach has recorded four albums as a sideman, and one as a co-leader of the Becoming Quintet, which earned a Jazztimes and Downbeat review. While in college, Zach performed with the Juilliard Artist Diploma Ensemble, in addition to being selected to participate in the JAS Aspen Academy and the Ravinia workshop.

Gabriel Medd, Trumpet: Gabriel Medd picked up a trumpet for the first time while wandering around his dad’s band room at the age of three. Now 30, the Iowa City native has played at the Umbria Jazz Festival, Governor’s Ball, Lollapalooza, The Blue Note, The Jazz Standard, Iridium, Chicago Jazz Showcase, Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola and Brooklyn Bowl. He has embraced opportunities to blend his ideas and sounds with those of other incredible musicians and regularly performs with High and Mighty Brass Band, Eli “Paperboy” Reed, Michael Blume, Sandra Bernhard and recently collaborated with Lake Street Dive on their Spotify Singles release as an arranger and soloist. In 2011, Gabriel received the award for “Best Undergraduate Jazz Soloist” in Downbeat Magazine’s 2011 Student Music Awards and was also included in Wynton Marsalis’ list of “The Next Generation of Jazz Greats” that appeared in JET magazine. Gabriel graduated with his bachelor’s degree from The Juilliard School in 2014 and his Master’s Degree at Juilliard in 2016. In November of 2014, he was selected as a semi-finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Trumpet Competition. Gabriel now lives in New York City and tours around the world with a busy performance schedule, recently traveling to Australia, Italy, Russia, Spain, France, Belgium, and England in his continued musical journey.
