NEW
YORK, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the
nation observes the Month of the Military Child, Children of Fallen
Patriots Foundation extends its gratitude to Goldman Sachs
executives who have utilized the Goldman Sachs Gives program, in
partnership with the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, to
provide unwavering support and extraordinary opportunities for
military families.
Through the GS Gives program, over 60 individual executives
within Goldman Sachs have tied their personal giving to Children of
Fallen Patriots Foundation, aligning with the foundation's mission
to offer college scholarships and educational counseling to
military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. These
executives' dedication, combined with Goldman Sachs' generous
matching program, has generated nearly $1.7
million in support of Gold Star scholars. This support has
paved the way for 270 years of college education and created an
estimated $27 million in social
impact.
"The significance of the partnership between Goldman Sachs
executives and Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation extends far
beyond monetary contributions," said David
Kim, Co-founder of Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation.
"It embodies the core values of compassion, generosity, and
commitment to service to our military veterans that define it. We
are extremely grateful for the dedication and impact this program
has had on our Gold Star scholars."
Goldman Sachs executives' scholarships have served as a lifeline
of opportunity for military families, providing access to higher
education and offering hope for a brighter future. Through their
ongoing support, they have not only invested in the education of
Gold Star scholars but also honored the legacies of fallen heroes
and their families.
