Favorite Charity: Humanitarian Services provides aid around the world for emergency response and disaster relief, along with local and long term health initiatives. I appreciate that 100% of every dollar donated is used to help people in need, with a goal to enable self-sufficiency and self-reliance after aid departs. An estimated $40M is provided annually, and over $1.2B total, without regard to race, religion, or ethnic origin. www.ldsphilanthropies.org/humanitarian-services

Chair, Commercial Research Advisory Board
Favorite Charity: St. Jude Children’s Hospital is a vital part of the war on cancer. St. Jude was built on the premise that "no child should die in the dawn of life” and this founding statement shows the importance of its pivotal work to help rid the world of cancer. www.stjude.org
G.G. Galloway
Vice Chair, Commercial Research Advisory Board
Favorite Charity: The American Red Cross is the organization that day-in and day-out meets the needs of many in all types of disasters. Living in Florida with our fair share of storms, floods, and hurricanes, we as business leaders, home owners, and citizens realize the need to reach out to help those who become displaced by an event that 99.9% of the time could not be prevented. The Red Cross is the leader in helping others in time of need. www.redcross.org/

Favorite Charity: I volunteer at the Cupey Girl's Home (Hogar del Niñas de Cupey). For the past 60 years, they have provided a home to girls between the ages of 4 and 20 who have been victims of abuse. The facility houses approximately 40 girls, providing them with a unique system of individual homes in a warm and safe family ambiance. They receive a quality education, activities, clothes, food, and all necessary services for their recovery such as medical attention, psychologists, and social workers. www.hogardeninasdecupey.org
