Lenny Zakim believed that one person can change the world.
Throughout his career, Lenny dedicated his energy to building connections and coalitions between people of different faiths, ethnicities,
and socio-economic backgrounds. As the executive director of the New England Region of the Anti-Defamation League, he fought tirelessly
to put an end to prejudice, civil rights violations, anti-Semitism, racism and bigotry of all kinds.
After Lenny was diagnosed in 1995 with multiple myeloma, a rare cancer of the bone marrow, he created, with the help of friends and supporters,
a philanthropic organization that would transform his vision of social justice into an enduring legacy: The Lenny
Zakim Fund.
Like Lenny, it focuses on making a difference, one person at a time.
