I have focused much of my philanthropic effort over the last 15 years to break down economic barriers for youth, and thus I appreciate Face the Future Foundation's focus on helping economically disadvantaged children access the critical care they need to live a fulfilling life.

I have toured University of Illinois Craniofacial Center and was most impressed by the committed, caring nature of The Center's doctors and medical professionals, and the incredible results of their work.
