As with business, it is important to set a goal that you feel is beyond your reach and work to achieve it. It is my philanthropic goal to reduce the incidence of childhood blindness in third world countries, and expand the number and reach of cancer detection and treatment programs for children.
I bring the same focus and determination to this mission that I do to all my projects. Since I started this journey, I have expressed my commitment through grants to national and international organizations.
In the United States, we have become closely involved with Camp Okizu and the Childhood Vision Campaign. These outstanding programs are lead by passionate people who are committed to addressing the critical needs of young children. By inspiring communities, motivating organizations and equipping local leaders with programs and facilities, we will make a difference in the lives of millions of children. In Europe we are supporting Jewish education and the revitalization of historical cultural sites.
We live in an exciting time of discovery. New treatments and technologies that offer tremendous promise are within our reach. Cell-based therapies will one day restore the promise of hope to children whose lives today are truncated by critical illness.
A responsible approach, balanced with passionate desire to change the world for the better is a worthy endeavor, not only for the wealthy, but for all who take up the challenge of making a difference. We choose certain organizations to be recipients of grants because of their dedication and undying commitment to worthy causes.
