TED TURNER PORTRAIT UNVEILING National Portrait Gallery | PHOTOS BY TONY POWELL 29th CENTURY TITAN: Ted Turner won’t just be remembered for starting CNN, the cable TV network that was first to broadcast the news 24/7/365 throughout the entire world. The legendary entrepreneur is also famed as a land conservationist, winner of the America’s Cup and donor of $1 billion to sustain the U.N. Foundation’s mission to support child health, energy and climate change research, sustainable development and other causes. “He aims high and always hits the bull’s eye until he reaches ‘Mission Impossible,’” former Sen. Sam Nunn said as the crowd cheered for both Turner and his life-sized portrait by artist Joe Friedman.

This year’s gala brought over 800 people to the Washington Hilton for a black-tie dinner dance, cocktail reception, silent auction of over 300 items, and raffle for a 2015 model Lexus. Rep. Mike Rogers, cancer survivor, gave a touching speech, thanking Lombardi for its work. Lombardi Director Louis M. Weiner, MD spoke of the Center’s status as D.C.’s only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. “Comprehensive cancer centers are where research meets patient care— where tragedies are transformed into triumphs,” he said.
