LIBERTY HILL FOUNDERS AWARD
Recipient For 2011

Gary dedicated nearly 30 years of his life to supporting Liberty Hill’s mission to help realize equality and justice for residents of Los Angeles. He sat on our board and served as a donor activist, always showing up and asking, “How can I help?”

His philanthropic activism around the living wage movement, immigration, racial justice, marriage equality and many other causes has made Los Angeles a more just and kind city for countless people. His friendship and counsel was invaluable, and his contributions to the Los Angeles community will serve as a legacy for future generations.

“Everything that is tearing us down today will become a memory, and this memory will be shared as an anecdote or a story or a poem or a play or a warning. It will be shared with another human being, who will then understand that he is not alone in his sadness. This is why we show up for others and tell our tales and listen to others. The great congregation meets daily, and you are someone’s angel today.”

-Tennessee Williams/Interview with James Grissom
