Generosity

Max Fisher was the son of immigrants who had little themselves but taught Max the value of giving back to his community. He was thankful for the chance to receive a college education. He recognized that Detroit was a wonderful place to live and work. And he learned that Israel was a unique country that always had room for Jews who were suffering around the world and needed a safe place to live and raise their families. His generosity touched millions of people who may never know his name but whose lives were vastly improved because of his actions.
