The HFPA has donated $5,000 to producer Ryan Kavanaugh's charity, The Art of Elysium, an organization that encourages actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. HFPA President Theo Kingma said: "We are committed to encouraging and supporting worthy charities and The Art of Elysium does wonderful work in helping seriously ill children." Kavanaugh, who is Chairman of the Board of the charity, has been recognized for his charitable works by organizations including Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, whose Board of Governors honored him as the sole winner of the 2010 Hollywood Humanitarian Award; the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation, which presented him with its Community Champion Award in recognition of his outstanding dedication to inner-city young people; and by First Star for his dedication to improving life for child victims of abuse and neglect. Kavanaugh, 39, the founder and CEO of Relativity Media, also recently became involved in dog rescue through his acquisition of FreeHand, saying that "We hope this will become a staple of Hollywood, and if you are not involved in this, then you’re not promoting social good amongst the animal world." As well as his charity work, Ryan Kavanaugh is known as a leading figure in Hollywood film production and through Relativity he has financed more than 200 films representing more than $17 billion in revenue.
