For the past sixteen years, Manatos & Manatos has co-hosted an annual dinner with President Bill Clinton to benefit the work of the THEA Foundation. Named in memory of David and Linda Leopoulos’ daughter Thea, the Foundation helps children find confidence, self-worth and perspective through creative expression by advocating the importance of the Arts in the development of Arkansas’s youth.

This annual dinner has raised over $1 million for the THEA Foundation. While it was held in Washington, DC for the first 10 years, in recent years it is held at The Boat House in New York City’s Central Park.
