Steve Mariotti: Playing For Real: Legendary Philanthropist Kathryn Wasserman Davis

Steve Mariotti: Playing For Real: Legendary Philanthropist Kathryn Wasserman Davis: One of the great philanthropists of our time passed away recently. She was my role model and friend, and I miss her already.

Kathryn Wasserman Davis was 106 when she died on April 23. During Kathryn's long, vital life, she gave millions to promote education, scientific research, and peace. She was also instrumental in helping to restore the Hudson River and the Maine coast. Over almost nine decades of philanthropy, some of her gifts include Wellesley College, her alma mater, the library at Lincoln Center, Princeton University's International Center, Wheaton College, and genetic research. She and her family have also donated to The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), the organization I founded which provides hands-on entrepreneurship education to at-risk youth around the world.
