From time to time, The Foundation has chosen to recognize donors whose contributions benefit the larger community through a demonstration of a commitment to philanthropy. According to Merriam-Webster, philanthropy is goodwill to fellow members of the human race – especially an active effort to promote human welfare. As an organization whose mission is to distribute funds to support humanitarian purposes, our 25th anniversary year recipient exemplifies all that philanthropy embodies.
Dr. Mark Hatfield, founder of Retina Consultants, PLLC was honored at The Foundation’s Silver Anniversary Gala and Benefit Auction on November 3, 2018.
