Dr. Harvey Manes Supports Life’s WORC Art Center
Dr. Harvey Manes, a philanthropist and art collector from Plainview, recently donated $50,000 to Life’s WORC. In recognition of his generosity, the new Art Center that his donation made possible was dedicated in his honor on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.
The day’s event was kicked off by Matthew Zebatto, former CEO of Life’s WORC, who welcomed an audience of staff and board members. He then introduced Life’s WORC founder Vicki Schneps, who praised Dr. Manes for his generosity and his commitment to improving the lives of the people supported by the organization’s various programs.
“Life’s WORC is grateful for Harvey’s generosity in donating an opportunity for thousands of special people to enjoy and develop in the art world,” she said.
Through his Manes Peace Prize Foundation, Dr. Manes made a donation of $50,000 in honor of Life’s WORC’s 50th anniversary in 2022 and the organization’s founder, Vicki Schneps. This latest act of generosity brings his total donations to $100,000 over the past two years.
The Manes Peace Prize Foundation’s funds will be used for a new Art Program to be offered by Life’s WORC.
