EXPLORING YOUR PASSIONS AND GIVING BACK

Take a moment to determine what truly inspires you.

Now combine that with philanthropy. Giving back is about linking passion with action and it doesn't have to be complex. A big part of the legacy you leave is how it includes and impacts the next generation. What is better than investing in your own values, community, and society by giving time and money to the things you care about most?

Ascendant Planned Giving, Inc.  works with individuals, families, charitable organizations, and small businesses helping them plan, assess and manage their charitable endeavors. Ascendant focuses on helping families and small businesses integrate philanthropy into their lives, while showing nonprofit organizations how to attract long-term support using planned giving programs. Ascendant seeks to increase the impact of philanthropy in society by working with donors to make their giving more strategic, effective and enjoyable; by developing creative, leveraged and useful philanthropic approaches to solving important social issues; and by inspiring more individuals, families, companies and organizations to become deeply involved in philanthropy.

You get what you give. We all have the power to give of ourselves and for many of us, the power to give of our wealth. It is with the shared vision of a better future for all, that challenges are faced head-on, obstacles are overcome, opportunities are exposed and access is granted. Philanthropy is our contribution to a better world. Not only will it change your life, but someone else's life too. Together, we can make a difference.

Art Siegel Showcases 3D Art

Art work by internationally known artist, Art Siegel, is now open for public view in Boca Raton’s Museum of Art until July 14th. Not only are his works inspirational, they are also three - dimensional. Although Art has been getting a lot of attention in Boca Raton, his pieces hang in different homes varying from Montreal to South America.


Siegel’s 3D pieces focus on the background scenery, rather than the actual subjects. “Everything that appears on the screen must serve as credible context for the story,” Siegel says. Some of Art’s three dimensional works include titles such as Number 6 to Pelham Bay and 7th Avenue Local.

Making artwork is not the only limitation for Siegel; it has also enabled community involvement by working with charities. On Thursday May 23rd, two of Siegel’s pieces will be shown at Yaacov Heller’s Gallery 22 for a cocktail and cupcake reception benefitting The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (MSF). The guests at the event will have a chance to meet him and learn more about his art work. Thanks to all of our sponsors: Tito’s Vodka, Mediterranean Specialty Products LLC, AllStar Cupcakes, and Caruso’s Ristorante.
