Lynn Frederick Hawley, Executive Director, Mount Sinai SAVI Program, presented Warren Leight with an award at the recent benefit.
The Mount Sinai Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention Program (SAVI) celebrated 35 years of service to the community at its annual benefit cocktail party in November 2019, which drew more than 200 guests and raised roughly $177,000. SAVI is the largest hospital-based sexual assault and domestic violence service provider in New York City.
The funds raised at the benefit will be used to provide free and confidential counseling, advocacy, and referral services to past and present survivors of rape, sexual assault, incest, domestic violence, and sex-trafficking, as well as to their families and friends. At this year’s benefit, television producer and Tony Award-winning playwright Warren Leight—best known for his work on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit—was SAVI’s honoree.
