Paul Marciano’s Philanthropic Ideals
Paul Marciano, a self-made fashion mogul who founded GUESS never forgot where he came from. His humble beginning encouraged him to donate even more to the charities that are close to his heart and even established a few.
Among his philanthropic endeavors are a number of organizations that do tremendous work:
FIDF
Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) is an amazing organization that was established in 1981 by a group of Holocaust survivors. The organization provides for wellbeing of the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
It especially runs a program called Lone Soldiers that supports the determined young men and women from all over the world who choose to leave the comfort of their homes and families to become IDF soldiers.
Lone Soldiers are the ones who have no immediate family in Israel, or a warm and loving place there to come home to. The Lone Soldier programs support these pioneers in service – they are dedicated Israel’s ‘ambassadors’. Moreover, the program assists them by helping them with the many challenges they face during their lives.
Marciano is the charismatic founder of the Guess fashion empire and also knows about the challenges of a successful career. His friends tell the story that he has a good heart and integrity and whatever gossip or obstacle he had to deal with in his public career, he always is a man of the people. An editor in chief recalls: Paul knows that he is a great story but is focused on being known for what he likes most. Helping others.
He and his family quietly gave 2.7 Million USD for the Israeli soldiers in need not for any attention, but coming from his heart.
Supporting IFDF means that Lone Soldier provides housing, mentoring, a 24-hour call center, financial grants, flights to visit their families abroad, Shabbat meals, holiday gift packages, social gatherings, and so much more. Lone Soldiers gives what comes closest to the warmth of home, and soldiers know that the FIDF family is by their side every day of the year.FIDF is known for its amazing Gala’s where a lot of Hollywood stars attend in support of FIDF and they raise millions of dollars for the cause.
