Case Studies
How could you not love seeing the joy on a man's face
upon seeing his newly built home?
Or hearing the pride in a woman's voice
as she confidently returns to the workforce because she is 'dressed to kill'?
Or relish the sense of accomplishment as a young child learns
not only how to golf but, more importantly, behavior that will help him/her to succeed in life?
A Personal Note:
While I have always been encouraged to give to those in the world less fortunate than I, I had no idea how rewarding true philanthropy could be until I participated in, and ultimately ran, my company's (AT&T) community projects.
Truth be known, these efforts were more personally fulfilling than the job itself even though I loved my work.
Through concerted financial planning and extremely good fortune, I have been able to continue and expand my giving (along with my husband) into many areas of the community and indeed around the world.
