“I joined the Knights of Columbus over 17 years ago to allow me to have my professional life dovetail with my faith. Through the creation of Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund, we came to know the Neal’s and I so respect the philanthropic vision shared by Rob and Berni. It is both a pleasure and an honor to be able to collaborate with the Neal’s and it is my sincere hope to help their efforts by working on worthwhile granting opportunities that benefit those in need, promote our Catholic ideals and help the Neals’ organization become a thought leader in Catholic philanthropy.”
