The organization is supported by Kaye/Bassman International, a recruiting and search firm based out of Dallas. The Foundation’s mission is the following: “To create and perpetuate an environment of charitable giving, to foster hope and personal growth, to support medical research and to enhance the lives of people in need.”
Primary beneficiaries over the past several years are the Muscular Dystrophy Association and City House. Funds to the MDA are specifically directed to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. City House provides a number of resources for over 3,000 children and families in Collin County, Texas, and the surrounding counties. This year, the Foundation took on a third initiative to support the Baylor Cancer Program, and committed to raising at least $25,000 to provide an exam room dedicated to Cindy Ornish, a 19-year partner with Kaye/Bassman who passed away in 2010 after a battle with breast cancer.
Fundraising events over the years have ranged from golf tournaments held at the Gleneagles Country Club, galas at venues such as the Four Seasons to upscale celebrations at clubs in Dallas, including Teddy’s Room.
“Love and profit are not mutually exclusive concepts in the business world,” said Jeff Kaye, CEO of Kaye/Bassman. “It is a true blessing to be surrounded by a group of people that not only embrace that concept, but take action on it and make a difference in the lives of others in need.”
