The official pictures from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.
The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.
The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.
Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

Day 188 of Shoot Every Day. I am going to post a new picture to my Blog everyday for a year. I will be shooting new just for this and posting here and on my blog.

Keys to the Community, a bronze sculptural bust of Benjamin Franklin, was unveiled and dedicated atop Girard Fountain Park's front wall on October 5, 2007. The one-ton sculpture is covered with casts of 1,000 keys collected from local schoolchildren and contains several brass nameplates representing Philadelphia firefighters fallen in the line of duty over four centuries. Partially funded by the Fire Department and by more than 1.5 million pennies donated by schoolchildren in 500 area schools, it replaced a 1971 acrylic sculpture of Franklin, Penny Benny, by Reginald E. Beauchamp. Beauchamp's Franklin was covered with almost 80,000 pennies collected from local schoolchildren, and incorporated a device that delivered a recorded two-minute speech on fire prevention. After slowly deteriorating over the years and was removed to storage in 1996.
Girard Fountain Park, a 0.15-acre pocket park at 325 Arch Street, is maintained by the Philadelphia Fire Department. It was created in the mid-1960s after the demolition of four 3- and 4-story commercial buildings that had stood on the northeast corner of 4th and Arch Streets. A firehouse was built on the corner lots, while the lot formerly occupied by 325 Arch was cleared.

Begun in 1752, the Potts family moved into the residence in 1753, and construction was completed later that year. In 1761, John has the property surveyed, and lays out a grid system of roads and parcels, (similar to Ben Franklins design of Philadelphia), to form the town of 'Pottsgrove'. (The town is later re-named Pottstown in 1815)

It was such a nice day and we wanted to try getting to Philadelphia via Amtrak train from Lancaster. The train took us to the 30th Street Station and we took the SEPTA subway from there.
The Christ Church Burial Grounds were located right next door to the US Mint so we just had to go for a stroll. Several signers of the Constitution are burried there most notably Benjamin Franklin.

It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.
Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.
