Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward.

While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.
