Bow Ties for Philanthropy : Corey Ribotsky News

If you’re interested in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, like Corey Ribotsky and so many others, one way to do so is with your bow tie. That’s right. Bow Tie Cause, launched one year ago by Dhani Jones, has partnered with 24 causes and sold over 5000 bow ties to raise more than $200,000.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Bow Tie that is for sale through their website was personally designed by Dhani Jones and his friend Kunta Littlejohn. Kunta’s battle with cancer led Dhani to create the bow tie. Dhani’s symbolism behind the design is quite personal. When Kunta was diagnosed, he thought that he was going to die. This is symbolized with the black base on the Bow Tie.

The silver lining on the Bow Tie shows the optimism they felt as Kunta began to improve. The red blood droplets on the tie are the logo for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Dhani Jones actually has quite an interesting background. Graduating from the University of Michigan with a custom-made major called Self-Representation, he has been a linebacker in the NFL and he owns a creative agency in NYC called VMG-Creative.

The Children’s Medical Fund of NY, where Corey Ribotsky of the NIR Group is the President, was recently very appreciative of Eric Chipman. As the son of CMF Trustee Richard Chipman, Eric decided to celebrate his bar mitzvah with a donation to the Children’s Medical Fund of NY. He donated a portion of his bar mitzvah gifts to this worthy cause, and followed in his parents’ example by doing so.

As the Children’s Medical Fund of NY explained, “This is a perfect example of children helping children.”

Every donation that the Children’s Medical Fund with hard working people like Corey Ribotsky receives helps them to help children. The trustees and the staff of CMF gave a hearty thank you to Eric for his lovely donation.

They presented Eric with a CMF achievement award for his contribution.

The Sunrise Day Camp is one of the jewels of New York. The Camp, operated by the Barry and Florence Friedberg JCC, provides boys and girls aged three to sixteen with a wonderful summer experience each year, packed with all the activities and events that every child wants, in a framework that these unique children can enjoy.

Sunrise also provides a range of programs throughout the year that fill the emotional, social, recreational and physical needs of young people dealing with the multiple challenges of cancer. That’s why donors like Corey Ribotsky of NIR Group, and the many supporters who enjoyed the Harvest Ball on October 16^th, 2010, fill such an important role in enabling Sunrise and the Friedberg JCC to continue their important work for New York’s children with cancer. While enjoying a fabulous evening of good food, music, dancing, and great auction and raffle prizes, attendees of the Ball got the chance to honor members of the JCC family and to benefit the important achievements of the JCC and Sunrise.
