My thinking is rather simple: I learned as a young boy that sharing with others is the right thing to do, a lesson I observed from my father’s willingness to share even our meager means with those less fortunate. Ever since, it has never been difficult for me to continue to do the right thing."
Pledge letter
Dear Warren:
I have responded affirmatively to the Giving Pledge. In fact, I have fulfilled that pledge already, having given more than half my wealth to charitable causes, primarily cancer research. I have also committed, and reaffirm here, that the balance of my estate — other than what is needed to support my wife during her lifetime — will also be given to charity.

I trust your efforts in growing the ranks of those committed to the Giving Pledge will be matched by the effort to see those pledges fulfilled. Thank you for your leadership.
Warmest Regards,
