Presented with the 2022 Icon Humanitarian Award
Recipient Background
Congratulations to LARRY NAMER for receiving the Icon Humanitarian Award at our 2022 Be Great! Humanitarian Awards.
Larry (Founder of E! Entertainment, President & Chairman of LJN Media Group, and CEO of Metan Global Entertainment Group) is a highly decorated, award-winning, and all-around respected pioneer in the global media industry, but what many people do not know about is the vast philanthropy that he has contributed over many decades and continues to produce today.
Over multiple decades, Larry has helped raise money to support charitable programs, volunteered to help others and found many ways to serve humanity. He is passionate about utilizing technology to broaden the scope of stories told, curious about cultural complexities and how to accurately incorporate them into films, television and digital content, and aware of the importance of addressing social issues and improving education efforts.
Currently, Larry is working on multiple different socially conscious projects that serve mental health, education, LBGQT, children, the environment, and other communities. Some of these projects include Pyramids to Prosperity, Conscious Parenting, BTYKWN.com, White Nights Music Festival, Environmental & Health nonprofit TV programs, and more. Additionally, he continues to speak voluntarily and anonymously (Shhhhh! Don’t tell him we told you) raising money to support various charities.
