Residents of Larchmont, Mamaroneck and its surrounding communities united for a successful, sold-out gala at Mamaroneck Cinemas in October to honor local resident, community leader, and media professional, J. B. Miller. 

The celebratory evening successfully raised vital funds for LMC Media, the area’s only local community media center.

The program was designed to highlight the enduring legacy of LMC’s media training, tracing Miller’s career back to his foundational experience as a student in the television program at Mamaroneck High School. This pioneering student program ultimately evolved into the LMC Media we know today.

Guests heard from Michael Witsch, LMC Media Co-Founder, Board Member and former MHS TV Coordinator and teacher of the school’s television program. Witsch recounted the training of generations of industry professionals, including J. B. Miller. 

The Gala not only looked back but also forward, featuring LMC’s “Future Filmmakers” and interns. Their testimonials demonstrated LMC’s ongoing mission to inspire young media professionals and equip them with the hands-on tools and experience necessary for success.

LMC Media’s Executive Director, Matt Sullivan stated, “LMC Media produced thousands of hours of original programming this year alone — that’s a lot of storytelling right here in our community. From the municipal coverage that keeps our residents informed and our government transparent, to creative shows like LMC Kids that inspire our youngest neighbors, we’ve given people of all ages and backgrounds the tools to tell their own stories — and the confidence to share them. We’ve helped local nonprofits amplify their missions, and we’ve given our business community the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and shine a spotlight on what they do best. Because at its heart, LMC Media is about one thing — bringing our community together through the power of media.”

The show’s presenter was none other than Elka Raved, longtime friend of J. B. Miller and host of LMC Media’s Sound Shore Family Guide.
