Cambridge Who's Who among Executives, Professionals and
Entrepreneurs makes it a priority to support charitable causes. In particular, we support programs and activities that foster the development of future executives, professionals and entrepreneurs.
Cambridge Who's Who also plays an active role in the communities where our employees live and work by encouraging our employees to alert us of potential corporate giving opportunities.
The Cambridge Who’s Who Cares website allows us to take a brief pause from highlighting the extraordinary achievements of the executives, professionals and entrepreneurs who comprise our extensive membership base to feature some of the worthwhile causes that our company, employees and members have supported. In the future, you can look forward to a section featuring Cambridge Who’s Who members in the nonprofit industry.
Here are a few of the causes that Cambridge Who's Who has
supported. For more information about our corporate giving programs, please email corporategiving@cambridgewhoswho.com or visit Cambridge Who's Who Cares.

Linda Horowitz Cancer Research
Foundation
http://lhcrf.org
The Linda Horowitz Cancer Research Foundation (LHCRF) was established in
January 2004 in memory of Linda Horowitz, who passed away from a hard-fought battle
with pancreatic cancer. Linda was an extremely warm, kind, caring, and courageous
woman with whole-hearted empathy for life and living. With the inspiration and love she
has left behind, LHCRF hopes to create a legacy for her and others.
The foundation was formed to honor Linda's memory, provide important funds for
cancer research and help others in their fight against cancer. Through the incredible
support of donors, LHCRF recently completed its first financial commitment of $1 million
to The Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health at Weill Cornell Medical Center,
and looks forward to continuing to raise funds to further benefit important cancer
research projects at this center, as well as other cancer-care facilities throughout the
country.

Ronald McDonald
House
http://www.rmhc.org/
"Home-Away-From-Home"
The idea behind Ronald McDonald House is simple: provide a “home-away-from-home”
for families of seriously ill children who are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.
Some children have to travel great distances to get the medical attention required.
In-hospital treatment may last one day, one year, or even longer. For the families of these
children, accommodations can be hard to come by; options are often limited to costly
hotels or unforgiving hospital chairs and benches.
