Save the Children announced yesterday a new global philanthropic community called the “Simon Society,” named after Emmy Award-winning co-creator of “The Simpsons” and long-time children’s benefactor, Sam Simon. “Sam is incredibly compassionate and caring about children,” said Carolyn Miles, president and CEO of Save the Children. “In his own understated way, he has made a world of difference for many children over the years through his philosophy of giving back to those in need. We are honored to name our new giving society after him.” For nearly three decades, acclaimed writer, producer and director Sam Simon has been a loyal advocate for children by supporting Save the Children’s top mission priorities, and traveling the world to see the charity’s work up close. He met former child soldiers in the mountains of Nepal returning to their communities; farmers in coffee-growing areas of Guatemala learning how to grow healthier food for their families; and children in quake-ravaged Haiti returning to school in a newly built safe classroom.
