Richard and Eric started volunteering at the homeless shelter by teaching piano to the children at the shelter on a weekly basis. They fundraised with family and friends to support the programs at the shelter. Their generosity did not stop there. Richard and Eric Dong decided to establish an endowment fund to provide scholarships for children in sports, music and the arts, leadership and human rights, to purchase books for the homeless family library, to fund staff appreciation and recognition, and to finance Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights educational program at Union Station.
Richard and Eric Dong believe there is no age limit when it comes to philanthropy, education and leadership, which are essential to a great country like America. President John F. Kennedy’s exhortation, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” serves as a profound inspiration for them.
