George Soros, whose philanthropy, through the Open Society Institute (of which The Lindesmith Center is part) is estimated at $350 million per year, will donate $1 million to needle exchange programs through San Francisco's Tides Foundation. The gift is believed to be the largest ever private donation to such programs in the U.S.

PLEASE see this week's MEDIA ALERT (below) for an opportunity to voice your support for this courageous and generous American. To learn more about the Open Society Institute, visit their web site at http://www.soros.org.
