by The Anti-Defamation League announces the 2026 Home Furnishings Industry Dinner, the premier annual gathering of leaders from across the home furnishings world, will be held June 4, 2026, at Pier 60 in New York. Each year, this event honors individuals whose achievements represent the highest standards of excellence, integrity and commitment to community.
The organization said this year’s honorees — Cindy Crawford, Andrew Koenig and Kenny Larson — “embody the values ADL works to advance: respect, inclusion, justice and meaningful impact.”
Global icon, entrepreneur and philanthropist Cindy Crawford will receive ADL’s prestigious Torch of Liberty Award, which honors leaders who promote respect, counteract hatred and bigotry, and champion fair treatment for all. Crawford’s expansive career — from her decades as one of the world’s most recognized supermodels to her success as a businesswoman and designer behind the celebrated Cindy Crawford Home Collection — has been defined by both cultural influence and purpose-driven leadership.
Beyond her business achievements, Crawford has been a dedicated advocate for children’s health, cancer research and meaningful philanthropic causes. Her generosity, values and commitment to helping others exemplify the principles at the heart of ADL’s mission.
Andrew Koenig will be honored with the Humanitarian Award, recognizing individuals who turn the ideals of justice, equality and humanity into real, measurable action. As CEO of City Furniture, Andrew has transformed one of the nation’s leading furniture retailers into an industry model for sustainability, philanthropy and values-driven leadership.
Under his guidance, City Furniture is expanding community partnerships and deepening its culture of giving through its “5% Giving Pledge” and successfully working toward achieving carbon neutrality through its “2040 Green Promise.”
His commitment to people — employees, customers and community members alike — reflects the true meaning of humanitarian leadership and directly aligns with ADL’s mission to create a more inclusive and equitable society.
Kenny Larson, CEO of Slumberland Furniture, will receive the American Heritage Award, which honors business leaders who embody the ideals of this nation and the spirit of ADL. Larson represents the second generation of leadership in the Slumberland legacy, building on his family’s deeply rooted values of service, care and community.
Under his leadership, Slumberland has strengthened its philanthropic footprint — including the company’s signature 40 Winks Foundation, which has provided more than 60,000 beds to families in need — while continuing to expand its reach across the Midwest. Kenny’s dedication to fostering inclusivity, supporting families and nurturing communities makes him a shining example of visionary leadership grounded in social responsibility.
Event highlights include:
+ A cocktail reception and high-level networking with industry executives.
+ Special tribute presentations honoring the 2026 award recipients.
+ A unified effort supporting ADL’s mission to combat antisemitism and fight all forms of hate.
+ A celebration of leadership, innovation and impact across the home furnishings sector.
At a moment when antisemitism, hate and polarization are rising across the country, the Home Furnishings Industry Dinner brings leaders together to reaffirm values of respect, justice and community. Funds raised directly support ADL’s work to protect democracy and ensure a safe, inclusive society for all.
