Growing up in the Jewish community, Richard Perl ’75 learned early on that giving to a wide range of causes is an integral component of his faith.
“I really learned from my parents,” Richard shares, noting that his mother and father were active in the United Jewish Appeal and many other local community programs. “When I got out of college, my parents said, ‘You have a job, so now it’s time to give back. There are those in the next generation who need the benefit of what you can contribute.’ And that was what got me started.”
