From our Chairman

“Family is the most important part of my life. I can’t tell you how much it means to me that we share similar values and a commitment to effect positive change in the world. This is a true family foundation. We sit at the table as a family, we make decisions as a family, and we share a calling to make a difference.

In some respects, our foundation defines who we are and what we stand for. My hope is that our future generations will also experience the joy of giving back to our foundation. What greater way to perpetuate our values and our love?”

- Arthur M. Blank
