Genevieve Piturro, Founder/Executive Director, Pajama Program. For many underprivileged children, nighttime often means a hard end to an equally hard day. Many go to bed wearing their street clothes or wearing nothing at all. That’s where Genevieve Piturro and the Pajama Program step in. This year, with 60 chapters across 3 States in America, Pajama Program celebrates its 15th year. Genevieve founded Pajama Program in 2001 to help create a warm and nurturing bedtime environment for youngsters living under difficult circumstances. Pajama Program, a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization targets children in need ranging in age from newborn to 17, many who are without parents and/or permanent homes. It is through her dedication and commitment that to date, the organization has been able to provide more than 3 MILLION new pajamas and new books to children in need in the U.S. In addition to her interview on OPRAH (this show aired 3 times), Genevieve has appeared on OWN’s “Where are they Now” series, TODAY (NBC), Good Morning America (ABC), The Early Show (CBS). CNN, Fox & Friends, and in O-The Oprah Magazine, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Glamour Magazine, SELF Magazine, American Baby, Parenting Magazine, Parents Magazine, Redbook, Woman’s World and hundreds of local media outlets. Genevieve’s entrepreneurial spirit was fueled by her extensive background in marketing, first in the television syndication arena for many years and then for an event planning company with offices in London and NYC. She started Genevieve Unlimited in 1993 to service entertainment companies in their efforts to gain a competitive edge in the world of promotion. Clients included ABC-TV, Bravo Cable Network, Sport Magazine and Broadway and London productions of “Crazy For You” and “Grease.” Genevieve is a professional speaker, writes a blog for The Huffington Post, and is writing a book called, “The Pajama Story: 9 Principles to Help You Find Your Purpose and Stay on Purpose.” She is a recipient of the Edith C.

Justin West, founder of Thrive Lot, is committed to healing our hungry planet by developing sustainable, intentional, and productive garden projects. He has combined technology with agroecology in a one-of-a-kind business model that taps into the power of community expertise. In doing so, he has paved the way for a greener future – not with the obstructive and disruptive nature of asphalt, but with the natural and nutritive properties of soil. What is Thrive Lot? Thrive Lot is a tool for people who wish to support biodiversity in their homes and local communities by installing gardens that intentionally and carefully combine specific plants with unique landscape designs. We help develop gardens that combat soil erosion, chemical contamination, landscape degradation, and more. Thrive Lot connects customers to local experts and helps all team members effectively communicate throughout the implementation process. Where did the idea of Thrive Lot begin? When I was five years old, I started living on this old Amish farm. I had a huge garden, big fruit trees, and berry bushes, and I did a lot of canning and preserving. When I was 11, I got into 4-H wildlife judging, which involves looking at a property and making management recommendations to improve the wildlife populations. I actually competed nationally at 15 and won the national championship in urban ecological design, but then kind of forgot about it for a decade.
