Philanthropy

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.

Camp Okizu

As an Executive Committee Member, I worked with the camp staff to assure the ongoing success of Camp Okizu. Camp Okizu is a free summer camp program where kids with cancer can simply be kids.

Childhood Vision Campaign

I worked with Seva to develop the Childhood Vision Campaign to prevent blindness and restore sight in developing countries where tens of thousands of children go blind every year.

Stem Cell Research

I have been highly involved in the support of Stem Cell research projects for the past 10 years. This area of study holds some of the greatest possibilities for advancement that science has seen in decades.

Autism Speaks

Parents, clinicians and leading scientists committed to accelerating the pace of biomedical research in autism through research support, education and outreach programs.

UCSF Childrens Hospital

I support this fund for its simple but important mission of filling special needs that Medi-Cal cannot provide, such as parking fees, hotel costs, meals and even the occasional, teddy bear.

NCCC

One of the nation's most important organizations dedicated to understanding who gets cancer, why, how to detect and treat it, and how to improve the quality of life of individuals living with cancer.

Soroka Medical Center

The program of bringing laughter to sick children at Israel's Soroka Medical Center via medical clowns has now been running for a year, thanks to a grant from philanthropist Mouli Cohen.
