Service member laying on their stomach on the ground holding a gun while a K-9 lays beside them

K-9 Veterans Day is coming up soon!

That means it’s more important than ever to let our military K-9 teams know how much we appreciate everything they do to protect us and their fellow service members.

We’re looking to reach 20,000 signatures on our K-9 appreciation card to send the strongest possible message of gratitude and support.* But we can’t reach this goal if military supporters like you don’t step up!

Please, will you sign the card now to thank our brave K-9 teams?

   
Thank you for our bravery, your service, and your sacrifice! We salute you!

Dogs are fiercely courageous and loyal, and nowhere is that truer than when they are heroically serving our country. Military working dogs rush into danger without hesitation to complete their missions and keep their fellow service members safe.

So please, add your name to our card right now to thank our military dog teams for everything they do for us and our country!

Thank you for your dedicated support of all our service members.

2025 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT

IN SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AWARD

The Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce Leona Shluger FormanFounder of BrazilFoundation, as the recipient of the 2025 Lifetime Achievement in Social Responsibility Award. The award recognizes Ms. Forman’s exceptional contributions to philanthropy and social impact in Brazil, celebrating her dedication to mobilizing resources, connecting global support networks, and fostering transformative change in communities across the country.

Born in Tianjin, China to a Russian Jewish refugee family, Ms. Forman experienced displacement early in life. During the turmoil of the Chinese Revolution, her family found refuge in Rio de Janeiro, and at the age of 13, she had to navigate a new language, society, and culture – an experience that profoundly shaped her enduring commitment to global citizenship and social justice.

Ms. Forman earned a bachelor’s degree from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. A journalist and communications specialist, she spent over two decades serving in senior leadership roles at the United Nations, where she played a key role in informing global publics about the work of the UN. Upon retiring from the UN, she founded BrazilFoundation in 2000 with a vision to connect international philanthropy with grassroots social initiatives in Brazil. Under her leadership, BrazilFoundation has played a pivotal role in mobilizing resources to advance education, social justice, gender equity, entrepreneurship, and environmental sustainability.

Over the past 25 years, BrazilFoundation has made a profound impact, investing $53 million in 930 organizations across 300 cities in Brazil. By identifying and supporting initiatives that promote equity, socio-environmental justice, and opportunities for all, BrazilFoundation has established itself as a leading philanthropic institution with significant national reach.

Ms. Forman’s commitment to empowering individuals and communities has played a vital role in advancing socio-environmental justice and sustainable development in Brazil. Her leadership has not only transformed BrazilFoundation into a global model for effective philanthropy, but has also inspired a new generation of social investors – individual, family, and corporate – dedicated to creating lasting impact.

The Lifetime Achievement in Social Responsibility Award recognizes Leona Forman’s extraordinary leadership and legacy in the non-profit sector, her dedication to fostering social change, and her contributions to strengthening ties between Brazil and the international philanthropic community. The award will be presented to Ms. Forman at the 2025 Person of the Year Awards Gala Dinner on May 14th at the American Museum of Natural History.

While Trump is enacting policies that favor billionaires and causing prices to skyrocket, state Democrats are taking decisive action to lower costs, create jobs, and protect Medicaid in places like your state.

By building Democratic majorities and expanding power seat-by-seat, cycle-after-cycle, we can counter the MAGA movement, grow economic opportunity, and build a better future for communities like yours.

Will you chip in $7 to give state Dems the resources they need to WIN against MAGA Republicans in upcoming elections? 100% of your donation will be put to work electing Democratic leaders in state legislative races nationwide →
