Arthur Blank, Chairman, The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, released the following statement after the passing of Atlanta philanthropist Anne Cox Chambers:

“Anne Cox Chambers was an extraordinary woman and philanthropist who made a meaningful impact. She shared similar philanthropic interests with our Family Foundation, especially the arts and education.  Her generous spirit was an inspiration to us all, and some of Atlanta’s greatest cultural institutions would not be what they are today without her.  It was an honor for me to spend two decades on the Cox board where I gained such an appreciation for Anne and the wonderful person and leader that she was in the business, her family and our community. I join the citizens of Atlanta by saying that I’m grateful for everything she did for Atlanta and for our nation.”
