The Fleisher Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to empowering extraordinary human beings.

On June 1, 2004, we lost a husband, son, grandson, brother, friend, and magnificent person. In many ways, Amos J. Fleisher was an ordinary man; in so many others, he was an extraordinary human being. Amos never hesitated to pursue his dreams and, as a result, he was successful in nearly every endeavor he pursued. Amos never put his personal ambitions above being human, and his strength of character, compassion, and smile touched all around him.

The Fleisher Foundation was established in 2005 to celebrate Amos’s life by supporting other ordinary people in pursuit of the extraordinary. We host several events per year that promote camaraderie and an ethic of service within the young professional community of Boston. Proceeds from these events are used to support education and training to combat Sudden Cardiac Death.

News from the Mud Pit:
This will be our 6th year fielding a team for the World Famous Camp Pendleton Mud Run. This year 22 runners will brave the mud on June 12th at Camp Pendleton. Our goal is to raise $18,000 which will bring our lifetime raised to $100,000. This money is crucial to support the placement of AEDs in public places and training thousands each year in AED use and CPR. By donating, you are helping to save lives.
