Harry Daniell Design supported Susan G. Koman this past year through their involvement in the New York Susan G. Koman Holiday House. This year’s house was located on 63rd Street at 5th Avenue. Harry Daniell Design was one of eighteen firms asked to showcase their talent. Images of their work can be seen under the portfolio section of this website.
The holiday Harry chose to celebrate was Breast Cancer Awareness Day. The concept for the room was "A Garden of Hope", with Harry believing that there is hope for a cure for breast cancer and survival.
Several years ago Harry Daniell became involved in Cerebral Palsy of New York State, as their volunteer designer. Leading an internal committee at Cerebral Palsy of New York State, Harry was called upon to design several residential homes for people with Cerebral Palsy. He also worked on a few independent volunteer projects that spanned from paint color selection, to built-in design to some commercial space projects. "This is not about high-end design, this is about making a space practical and calm for the residents of the space being designed. Cerebral Palsy is a broad term; most residents I work with are pretty severely afflicted." For more information on the organization, please go to: http://www.cpofnys.org

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is a national voluntary health agency dedicated to curing leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and to improving the quality of life of patients and their families. Harry has embraced the organization to be part of the fight against the blood born diseases. To compliment the fashion line that he is currently developing, Harry donated his services to design a shirt for survivors of Leukemia and Lymphoma as well as a shirt to commemorate victims of the diseases. The shirts are to be unveiled in 2010. Harry and his team will also be participating in Light the Night, a fundraising event to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer.

Harry has been named to the Executive Leadership Committee for 2010.
True to form, Harry believes that there is nothing greater than feeling at home and comfortable in your own space. Through this belief, Harry has generously volunteered his services to survivor’s of Domestic Violence, after they’ve formally and permanently decided to leave the abusive situation and embark on a new path.
“People often ask how I got involved. It was by accident. A survivor of domestic violence reached out asking for help. I reached back and embarked on a journey that I’ve since continued. Domestic Violence and abusive relationships come in all shapes and sizes. It’s not for me to judge. Not having any first hand or personal knowledge of domestic violence or abuse, I didn’t know what I was getting into exactly. The first person I helped made me realize what a huge step she was taking in moving forward. It was deeply profound, saddening and inspiring at the same time. Sad only because she was so beautiful on the inside and outside. I couldn’t imagine somebody who appeared so strong to have been so weak at one point in her life.”
