Calvin Ayre, the founder and CEO of Bodog.com, who also founded the Calvin Ayre Foundation, today launched a website dedicated specifically to his charitable organization.
Started in 2004, the foundation's goal is to achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in the environment and in the lives of disadvantaged individuals and communities.
It focuses on promoting greater equity in five broad areas: environment, education, social development, child welfare, and animal welfare.
Ayre's foundation has worked with many national and international charities, including the Fisher House Foundation, the LA Lakers Youth Foundation, the Humane Society, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Animal Avengers Organization, and the Sean McCauley Hope Foundation for Pediatric Cancer.
It has raised money for many charitable causes. Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, animal welfare rights, and children's hospitals have all benefited from the foundation. It also supports large-scale initiatives, such as the Sponsor-A-School Project and the Sponsor-A-Family Project. These programs are the core of the foundation, which directly manages its money and the allocation of funds to the various initiatives under its mandate.
