Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we
get.
We make a life by what we give.
”
By Mr.
Churchill’s standards, the six individuals shown
here—Al Russell, Ben Hammett, Tom Fiene, MD,
Judith Steiner, Ruth Hammett, and Katsy Swan—
have made lives worthy of
celebration, and Avenidas will
do exactly that on Sunday,
May 19 at our 25th Annual
Avenidas Lifetimes of
Achievement event.
Present
The importance of giving
has never been more in the
public consciousness than it
is today.
Case in point: since
2010, more than 100 of the
world’s wealthiest individuals
and families have made “The
Giving Pledge,” an informal public commitment to
dedicate more than half of their wealth to philanthropy
or charitable causes, either during their lifetime or after
their death.
Although an admittedly small number of individuals
have the resources to make such a pledge, the group
acknowledges that meaningful giving is not limited
to large sums.
