We Mourn the Loss
Matthew Geffner circa 2004
Young Angels began in 2002 when
Matthew Geffner, then age 14, had an idea for a community service
project. He asked his mom’s friends, Brook Dougherty and Debbie
Koerner, to help him. Matthew gathered his friends in a classroom at
the Mirman School, then informed Brook and Debbie that they would like
Linkin Park to perform a benefit concert. When he was told that this
was “unlikely,” he reminded Brook and Debbie that “unlikely” was not
“impossible.” Linkin Park performed at the House of Blues on Monday,
March 4th, 2002 to benefit TrinityKidsCare, a pediatric Hospice.
Matthew Geffner died tragically this year, in New York, where he
was attending NYU. His blend of entrepreneurship and philanthropy
continues to be the backbone of Young Angels of America.
In that spirit, we launch “Matthew’s Café,” a weekly leadership
gathering for teens that will feature emerging philanthro-capitalists,
artists and activists. Our mission continues to be to teach young
people about philanthropy and community service. This program is made
possible by gifts from the Pacific Palisades Woman's Club, The Palisades
Rotary Club, and the Palisades Optimists Club.
Where: Matthew’s Garden Café
Address: 859 ½ Swarthmore Ave
Pacific Palisades

When: Tuesday, August 27, 2013

Khalid, ( Yung Phaze), then went to
work on his professional career, staying in touch with Khao and Young
Angels for guidance. Last week, he reached out to Young Angels'
Executive Director, Brook Dougherty, with this ask: "I'm ready to record
and fundraise to get a used Mac lap top. It doesn't have to be new, it
just needs to be recent. You always said, Mrs. Dougherty, that an
artist should have their own equipment, and I don't know how I'm going
to get mine unless I have some help."
Please reach out to us if you have a new or used Mac lap top for Yung Phaze.

Adler
was born in Queens, New York on January 17, 1986. A year after Adler
was born, his family relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona. He attended
Horizon High School, and immediately after graduating in 2004, he moved
to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. After various roles in a
number of productions, Adler was cast in a minor day player role in the
Fox television series Glee as school jock and bully Dave Karofsky. Glee
creator Ryan Murphy was impressed with his performance and started to
write more for him. In the November 2010 episode "Never Been Kissed",
written to tackle the issue of LGBT youth bullying, Karofsky is revealed
to be a closeted gay teen. He received positive responses via the
social networking websites Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook, and commented
that he was "honored to represent such a large group of people". The
character eventually gives up his bullying and makes his peace with
Kurt, but he remains closeted. Adler has been praised for his
performance in episode 3x14, "On My Way", during which after his
character is outed, he attempts suicide. He recently completed starring
in Dylan Baker’s independent film “23 Blast,” opposite Stephen Lang,
about a football star who’s suddenly stricken with irreversible
blindness. Additionally, he has two movies in the can and scheduled to
be released later this year - the action/drama “AWOL,” a Vietnam-era
story about a soldier who quits his post to find the girl who left him,
co-starring with Liam Hemsworth and Teresa Palmer, and the horror/comedy
“Detention of the Dead” about a group of high school misfits who are
trapped with classmates that have turned into zombies (which is
currently playing the Festival route around the world). For
television, Adler just completed work on Shawn Ryan’s new action drama
for ABC, “Last Resort,” opposite Andre Braugher and Scott Speedman,
Adler is also heavily involved with activism. Following the Glee
episode "Never Been Kissed", Adler was contacted by the It Gets Better
Project, an internet based project founded by Dan Savage and his
husband, Terry Miller, which aims to prevent suicide among LGBT youth.
Adler recorded a heartfelt video for the project, offering words of hope
and encouragement for kids and teens facing bullying due to their
sexual orientation. On November 15, 2010, Adler spoke at the
Anti-Defamation League’s Concert Against Hate at the Kennedy Center in
Washington, D.C. Adler has also worked closely with the Muscular
Dystrophy Association to help raise awareness of the hereditary muscle
diseases. Adler's mother and grandmother have both passed from
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, also known as FSH or FSHD.

YOUNG ANGELS 10th YEAR!!!
Young Angels of America celebrates its
tenth year in Pacific Palisades with a middle school holiday dance
hosted by “GLEE” cast member, Max Adler. Adler plays the closeted, gay
football bully and, in real time, when not on set, he devotes time to
causes related to bullying.
Mr. Adler was asked to host this event specifically because of his
work playing a bully and transforming that experience into community
service events such as appearing at the Young Angels dance. The dance,
"Jenesse," supports the Jenesse Center, a domestic violence intervention
program.
The event will be kicked off by on on-stage interview conducted by
Cara Friedman, a freshman at The Brentwood School, Erica Jaffe, a
sophomore at Harvard-Westlake and Jordan Ferguson, a senior at Loyola
High School. Questions, created by students include (1) How has your
life changed since you got this part? (2) How does it feel to play a
bully? (3) What advice would you give middle school students if they
are bullied? (4) Have you ever known a bully?
The event is Friday, December 14th from 7-10 PM at the Pacific Palisades Woman's Club.
901 Haverford. Grades 7-9 welcome. Tickets are available for purchase at www.youngangelsofamerica.org for $20 on line or $30 at the door.
For information contact Brook Dougherty, brook@youngangelsofamerica.org or 310.573.9913. This event is made possible with the support of the Pacific Palisades Woman's Club and Vivian's Boutique
