MySweetCharity’s Make-Believe-Benefactor: Lee Bailey

Dec 30, 2010 9:00 AM by Jeanne Prejean

Lee Bailey
“Would that I did!  Actually, even the thought of it is daunting.

Someone once said to me that there are no undeserving charities and that you have to choose wisely.  Dallas has been blessed with many kind, and generous, benefactors to a multitude of charitable recipients.  But, your question, Ms. Sweet Charity, has drawn my thought to our First Responders*.

Whether we, as individuals, interact with them daily or sporadically, our First Responders are always there for us, the citizens of Dallas, 24/7, 365 days of the year.  They have chosen an often thankless profession and too many of us take their service for granted.  To enrich them with training, a piece of equipment, or whatever might speak to my/our appreciation of their commitment would be my choice — my gift to the betterment of Dallas.”

–Lee Bailey

* Firemen, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics and nurses.

    Right on Ms. Bailey… that’s why this “make believe benefactor” has been so much fun.. Everyone sees philantrophy with such different eyes.

    I had a precious young woman ask me what I thought philantropy was and I said “it’s giving from your heart what you can and it’s not about money as your time is sometimes more valuable”… she replied “oh Yvonne, I thought you had to be rich to be a philantrophist”…
