Koch Industries employ a lot of people in Wichita & Dallas. They also built a new arena for WSU Shocker basketball.
In addition to helping their communities, they also donate millions to find a cure for cancer. I tend to think more of companies who actually help others than I do of Hollywood millionaires who waste millions on lavish & expensive birthday parties for their little brats. Koch Family LinkMedical & Cancer Research As a prostate cancer survivor, David Koch’s gift of $100 million in 2007 created the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, which opened March 3, 2011. Other cancer-fighting gifts include: • $20 million to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore • $30 million to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City • $25 million to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston • $15 million to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center • $25 million to The Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City In 2011, Mr. Koch received the Humanitarian of the Year award from the American Apparel and Footwear Association for his long-standing support of organizations working to find a cure for prostate cancer. The awards gala raised more than $1.1 million for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. In 2007, Mr. Koch was honored with the Double Helix Medal for Corporate Leadership from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for supporting research that, “improves the health of people everywhere.”
