## Resource

David Hoffmann, Chairman of Lee Enterprises and Horatio Alger Award winner, shares how his humble beginnings fuel his mission to empower kids through philanthropy. From helping move the Joffrey Ballet to Chicago to launching the Type 1 Timer Hockey Camp for young athletes with diabetes, the Hoffmann family’s giving spans arts, health, and community. With over 350 organizations supported nationwide and millions donated annually, they’re not just funding causes—they’re showing up, volunteering, and building legacies rooted in generosity. Hoffmann’s ultimate goal? To be remembered as a kind, giving person whose success was measured in the lives he helped change.
