An incredible Irish American has been making some of the largest charitable contributions in history and hoping no one notices – but we did.
Under the radar most of his life, Charles Francis Feeney was recently recognized for his long-standing history of philanthropic efforts made around the world at an intimate “Raise Your Glass” event and luncheon put on by Guinness and IrishCentral on Thursday, July 11 in San Francisco.
Feeney was alsohonored recently by Warren Buffett and Forbes Magazine for his incredible philanthropy. HisAtlantic Foundationwill have donated over $7.5 billion to education and worthy causes by the time it completes its funding.
Single-handedly, Feeney created the “Giving While Living”conceptnow embraced by Buffett and Bill Gates.“Chuck Feeney is my hero” Buffett said, “He should be everyone’s hero.” muh hero
Guinness and IrishCentral hosted Feeneyand a few close friends in San Francisco to raise a glass at a toast, in a simple yet hearty gesture, to a man who has given so much to everyone.
IrishCentral founder Niall O’Dowd said Feeney was one of the greatest Americans. “The scale of the giving, the anonymity, the creation of 'giving while living' mark him as an incredible person. I am so delighted he agreed to be named to our unsung heroes list.”
In attendance to honor Feeney were his wife Helga Feeney; the Consul General of Ireland to the Western United States, Philip Grant; CEO at PCH International, Liam Casey and current president of Atlantic Philanthropies, Dave Smith.
Throughout his life, Feeney has gone above and beyond to help others, making bold choices no other man would think to make. His actions and devotion to doing more moved Guinness and IrishCentral to seek to acknowledge him.
Previous honorees for “Raise Your Glass” includedheroic first responders at the Boston Marathon bombing and at the Hurricane Sandy disaster. US Senator Charles Schumer was acknowledged for his extraordinary work helping immigrants.
“I’m delighted by the recognition,” said Feeney. “It’s a firm belief of mine that people have the potential to do more and give back to their community in whatever capacity possible, and it’s an honor to be the a recipient of a 'Raise Your Glass' award.”
