OUR DONORS: BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF CARE<br />
“My name is Devorah Kaufman. I’m in grade 4. My teacher assigned us<br />
a project called Project GiveBack. Each girl was to choose her own<br />
charity. I chose <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Sinai</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> … Enclosed please find a<br />
cheque for $60.” Devorah Kaufman, budding philanthropist<br />
Daniel and Leonard Drimmer<br />
When Daniel and Leonard Drimmer made their<br />
leadership gift to <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Sinai</strong>, they wanted to<br />
touch as many people as possible. The opportunity<br />
to improve the lives of patients is extremely<br />
rewarding, the brothers say, but what these firsttime<br />
<strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Sinai</strong> donors found most unexpected<br />
was the heartfelt appreciation staff expressed,<br />
immediately and graciously recognizing the<br />
impact of their gift on the community.<br />
Kwok Yuen Ho<br />
It was a brief encounter with <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Sinai</strong><br />
rheumatologist Dr. Peter Lee that led businessman<br />
KY Ho to pledge a remarkable $600,000 first-time<br />
gift. Understanding that technology has the<br />
power to improve a patient’s quality of life, KY<br />
felt passionate about easing the pain of arthritis.<br />
“If I can help minimize the suffering of others,”<br />
he says, “it’s the right thing to do.”<br />
