Contributing to the Progression of Humanity
I have an inherent responsibility to use my talents, my privilege, and my two hands to give back. Through my commitment to volunteer leadership, to doing the actual work, and to showing up, I’m investing in the success of humanity that surrounds me and makes all of us whole. Many year ago, Reid and I developed a charitable mission statement. This statement guides our volunteer work, our philanthropy and our advocacy.
For us, both direction and boundaries are essential.
Our Charitable Mission Statement
We support organizations committed to promoting educational justice and equity and equipping underestimated communities for success. Our primary focus will be to devote time and resources to advocating for educational and life enrichment opportunities for school-age children, advancing arts and culture initiatives, and engaging in civic life in our community.
