Mr. Richardson was asked to create the primary awards for the Children of Chernobyl Foundation's Gala Dinner and Auction on November 11, 1998. The Humanitarian "Tree of Life" award went to Leslie and Anna Dan and the "Children of Chernobyl" award went to Mr. Jon Voight.

The Foundation was established to save children who are living in the area affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The Foundation has saved over 1,641 children to date and its ongoing efforts require the support of generous patrons.
