BIRD AND BELL
AWARD RECIPIENTS
The Leslie C. and Regina Quick, Jr.
Family
On the occasion of the 40th Anniversary
of the New York Dinner Gala, The American
Ireland Fund is pleased to present its
highest honor, the Bird and Bell Award to
the Leslie C. and Regina Quick, Jr. Family:
Les, Tom, Peter, Chris, Mary, Nancy and
Patricia.
In 2002, the Fund established the Leslie C. Quick Jr. Leadership
Award to commemorate the business and philanthropic legacy of
Leslie C. Quick, Jr. which is presented annually to a businessperson of
outstanding character and acumen. Leslie was an entrepreneur, a man
of vision and commitment and a philanthropist who believed in sharing
his success with those less fortunate. Leslie and Regina’s kindness to
The American Ireland Fund is legendary. Not only were they supporters
of the Fund, but in 2001 they gave $1 million to The American Ireland
Fund to help fight cancer in Ireland. Their generosity helped fund the
Cork Cancer Research Centre located within the University College
Cork, which is now considered a world-class medical enterprise.
Today, the Quick family continues its legacy of philanthropic spirit
and commitment to numerous charities throughout the world.
Today, the family is a great supporter of our work and plays an
important role in the Palm Beach and New York Dinners.
In presenting the Bird and Bell Award to the Quick Family, we honor
a great man’s memory, his legacy and his family’s continued
commitment to those values.
SPECIAL GUEST
Senator George J. Mitchell
The American Ireland Fund is proud to welcome Senator
George J. Mitchell as our special guest at our 40th Anniversary
Dinner. We are honored to pay tribute to Senator Mitchell for his
extraordinary commitment to furthering Peace and Reconciliation
in our global community.
Senator Mitchell’s distinguished career includes 14 years in the
United States Senate. In 1996, the Governments of the United
Kingdom and Ireland asked Senator Mitchell to chair the peace
negotiations in Northern Ireland. Senator Mitchell led the negotiations which ultimately resulted in the Good Friday Agreement which was overwhelmingly
endorsed by voters in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic in 1998. He is also chancellor
of The Queen’s University of Northern Ireland.
Senator Mitchell also served as Chairman of an international fact-finding committee on
violence in the Middle East. His findings were released in December 2007. In 2008, Time
magazine included Senator Mitchell on its list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
In 2009, President Obama appointed Senator Mitchell as Special Envoy for the Middle East.
He has received numerous awards and honors recognizing his service in the peace
talks. These include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor the
U.S. government can give; the Philadelphia Liberty Medal; the Truman Institute Peace Prize;
the German (Hesse) Peace Prize; and the United Nations (UNESCO) Peace Prize. He is a
published author and has served on numerous boards including those of DLA Piper; The
Walt Disney Company; the Boston Red Sox; Federal Express, Xerox, Staples, Unilever and
Starwood Hotels and Resorts.
He served as Chairman of the International Crisis Group, a nonprofit organization dedicated
to the prevention of crises in international affairs, as Chairman of the Special Commission
investigating allegations of impropriety in the bidding process for the Olympic Games, and
as Chairman of the National Health Care Commission. Working on a pro bono basis, Senator
Mitchell was the independent overseer of the American Red Cross Liberty Disaster Relief
Fund, an organization formed to help victims of the 9/11 attacks.
