Temple's Intergenerational Center has been named the first recipient of the Eisner Prize for Intergenerational Excellence, which includes a $100,000 cash award. The Eisner Foundation, headed by former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, established the annual award to honor the individual or non-profit organization doing the best work in creating partnerships with senior citizens and young people. Nancy Henkin, who founded the center in 1979, said she was thrilled: "We really see Philadelphia as our laboratory. We take what we learn in Philadelphia and take it across the country."
