A gala to benefit Captain Planet Foundation (CPF,) an award-winning, US-based NGO that works collaboratively to engage and empower young people to be problem solvers for the planet.

Over the past 31 years, more than 1.6 million children have directly participated in CPF’s programs, which have funded 3,700+ projects, impacting 11.4 million young people from over 90 nations. The NGO was originally based on the critically-acclaimed animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers when it was co-founded in 1991 by media mogul Ted Turner and series executive producer Barbara Pyle. In 2002, CPF separated from TBS and became a 501(c)3 public charity. This gala recognizes environmental stewards. Past awardees include Jane Fonda for the organization’s 2022 Exemplar Award. Other famous awardees  are Sir Richard Branson, Prince Charles of England, and President Jimmy Carter. For more information: www.captainplanetfoundation.org
