"Being a social philanthropist, Lawton sought help from other people who are passionate about exposing the crisis occurring in Northern Uganda. For example, Lawton has worked with Lloyd Axworthy, former Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Canadian Government, inspired Lawton to generate awareness of the situation in Northern Uganda. She has also toured Africa with Bill Clinton and representatives from The Clinton Foundation. Lawton has also held private audiences with other global stewards such as, the Dali Lama, Bill Gates and Nelson Mandela.

In 2004, Lawton founded Mindset Media, a socially-conscious, non-partisan media company dedicated to identifying, producing and presenting stories and issues that express opinions and perspectives rarely featured in current mainstream media outlets. One of Mindset Media’s first initiatives was the “Act for Stolen Children” campaign which acted as a catalyst for change to facilitate increased awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Northern Uganda. Lawton was nominated for a 2007 Leo Awards for Best Documentary Program or Series (History/Biography/Social/Political) for producing Uganda Rising which chronicles the 20-year civil war raging in Northern Uganda between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the Ugandan government.<1>

Lawton is currently the Chair of the Unite for Children Unite Against Aids Campaign for Unicef Canada. She has set a fundraising goal of $25 million in 5 years to help the campaign address HIV/AIDS issues for mothers and children. In 2007, she announced Avril Lavigne would headline the first of a series of annual concerts to UNICEF's Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS campaign. Lawton credited her friend, musician Sarah McLachlan, with convincing her to launch a concert series rather than a smaller event.<2>

Recently, Lawton has been appointed as a chairperson of the John F. Kennedy School of Government Women’s Leadership Board at Harvard University. The board is an external group that advises the Dean and supports women’s initiatives at the school, including the Women and Public Policy Program."
