The Passing Of Myra Kraft

Please read my thoughts on Myra Kraft and her philanthropic impact here.

Today is a very sad day for me with the news of the passing of Myra Kraft. What she has done in the community we live in with her philanthropy is quite amazing. Mrs. Kraft chaired the board for Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston and the Boys and Girls Club of Boston. 

But, she was also very involved with so many other charities including the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation. Her impact with charitable foundations is felt here in New England and also in Israel. 

Life is short and for someone to give back to others like Myra Kraft did in her life should be admired. Hearing this sad news today made me feel that I need to do more for charities that I feel strongly about.

The Patriots family lost a very important person today, but Mrs. Kraft's legacy as a person will live on forever.
