“I believe that if you work in an organization that has a philanthropic arm it is important to participate because you have a personal stake. You can also be part of the ripple effect of giving. No matter what the amount of the donation is to Kennedy Krieger Institute, you are now part of the ripple effect, and you have a voice.”
“The reason why I give to Kennedy Krieger Institute, is because I am a witness to the impact the Institute has in helping to improve the lives of our patients and families...If my donation can help Kennedy Krieger Institute continue to fulfill its mission, it is worth it."
