Philanthropy

There are a lot of great organizations and causes out there, but my philanthropic efforts are mainly focused in three areas.

Ari Foss Foundation

First and foremost is the Ari Foss Foundation.  My wife and I started the Ari Foss Foundation after we our son, Ari Foss, was still born.

The Ari Foss Foundation was created to help parents and families with financial assistance for cremations or funerals when there is a stillbirth (intrauterine fetal demise 20+ weeks) or neonatal loss within the first week of life.

Environment

I love the environment.  Everything from walking trails to gazing at faraway stars in the night sky to relaxing on the beach to (attempting to) gardening.

My interest and support ranges from water to animals, trees and plants to the environmental impact on humans.

Derek Revord Endowment

I established the Derek Revord Endowment in December 2010 at the Coastal Community Foundation in memory of Derek David Revord. The Endowment became fully endowed in the spring of 2012 and grants money to the Special Olympics South Carolina serving the Lowcountry. The Endowment’s 1st donation to the Special Olympics was in July 2012 and will continue to donate to the Special Olympics South Carolina serving the Lowcountry in perpetuity.
