"I established the Jeanine Horowitz Foundation for two reasons: 1). To promote Education and Literacy to the general public, and 2). To establish a legacy of philanthropy for my children's children.
It is my hope and desire that society will recognize that many working Americans have the ability to make a greater contribution to the world and do not need a hand out, but they need a hand up and access to a good education."
