About the Abraham Krasnoff Courage and Commitment Award 

The Abraham Krasnoff Courage and Commitment Award was established in June 2006 in honor of its first recipient, a founding board member and generous contributor to ERASE Racism, Abraham Krasnoff.  The award recognized Abe’s bold leadership, wise counsel, generosity and steadfast commitment to addressing institutional racism. 

Abe was well known for his professional achievement as Chairman of the Pall Corporation, for his philanthropy, and for his many civic and community activities.  With his death in February 2007, Long Island lost a great leader. 

ERASE Racism selects recipients for the Abraham Krasnoff Courage and Commitment Award who share ERASE Racism’s zeal for racial equity and who, in the spirit of Abe Krasnoff, are making a difference in the fight against racism.
