Bonnie started her accomplished philanthropic legacy as the Founding Director of the modeling industry’s first non-profit organization in the early 90’s, the DISHES Project for Pediatric AIDS. For nearly a decade she hosted over 50 DISHES fundraising events across the nation & in Brazil. She worked tirelessly to generate funding and awareness for direct care, education and prevention for children impacted by HIV/AIDS and their families. She was highly recognized for her work and has received many prestigious awards, such as the Northern Lights Alternatives’ Vision Award, Little Flower Children’s services of New York’s Recognition Award, Youth EnterNet’s Issues Awareness Award, Edwin Gould Services for Children & Families’ Humanitarian Award and an Honoree of the Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation. Bonnie sits on the Board of Trustees for the Charles Evans Foundation, working with several dozens of charities to honor her late husband’s memory. She resides in Manhattan where she continues to touch lives and help those in need.
Bonnie began windsurfing in the late 80′s. Today, she’s hooked on kite-boarding and continues to travel the world in search of wind. “To survive on the water, you must focus. It is very healing and empowering to find that perfect balance between the wind, the water, your equipment and your heart. By channeling that strength, I have been able to achieve many successes in my life, especially the inner rewards of helping others.”
