    Artreach delivers all manner of art opportunities to under-served children and elderly. In 2007

    the organization experienced a bit of a crises. I was asked to be president and we were able to turn things around such that the Chronicle of Philanthropy wrote a feature story on us. It was a great experience with great people.

  • 1983

    I can't remember the exact year- about '84 - I was invited to join and become a member of the Cattle Baron's Ball committee

    the single largest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. It was a fantastic organization and still is. Years after I joined my own son was diagnosed with leukemia. This gave additional

    highly personal gravitas to the experience. I became the Chairman of the Children's Party

    a pre-ball event for kids with cancer which grew into one of the most beloved aspects of putting on the overall event.
