KINGS OF NY HONORED
Dozens of leading men from their
worlds of business, philanthropy, and politics
were honored for their work during
the Kings of New York Awards and
Networking event on Nov. 6.
More than 450 supporters gathered at
Leonard’s Palazzo in Great Neck to cheer
on the honorees during the prestigious
empowering celebration, which connects
and recognizes the most powerful and
active members of the community in
one room. The event was organized by
Schneps Media, the parent company of
the Long Island Press, and presented by
The Whitmore Agency.
“This event celebrates and honors successful
men in business who lead by
example, making a positive impact in the
community and workplace,” said Joanna
Austin, publisher of the Press. “It is a
forum to connect like-minded individuals
to share valuable ideas and a vision
as leaders, contributors, and mentors
throughout New York.”
Earning special honors in this year’s
event was J. Foster Phillips Funeral Home
President and CEO Neil Foster Phillips,
who won the Health Hero award, and
nonprofit 100 Suits for 100 Men Founder
Kevin Livingston, who was named philanthropist
of the year.
“I am just absolutely honored to be
among so many amazing Kings in New
York City doing the work and supporting
one another,” Livingston said. “I am truly,
truly honored.”
Phillips echoed the sentiment. “I was
surprised that I was one of the honorees,”
he said. “I’m just happy to be here.”
