Saying that mankind as a whole has an obligation to clean up the Gulf Coast in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Jesse Willms donated $25,000 today to the Gulf Coast Restoration Fund.
He also donated $25,000 each to three other charities today, including: * The Breast Cancer Research Foundation * The Nevada YMCA * Children's Hospital Boston
Willms has had a philanthropic focus since he saw Bill Gates and Warren Buffett challenge successful people like himself to give as much as they can to charities to help make the world a better place. While he normally provides his support to organizations that help women and children, he said the devastation of the Gulf coast is too big an issue for anyone to ignore.
The National Wildlife Federation created the Gulf Coast Restoration Fund after the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. The explosion led to millions of gallons of oil being released into the Gulf before it was put under control three months later. The pollution has severely damaged fragile ecosystems and the Gulf coast economy.
