Ostrows and Shapiros Underwrite Special
Diabetes Research Fellowship
Two families of the Char
lotte Jewish community have
given their support to diabetes
research with 2in innovative
contribution. Joel and Cindy
Ostrow and Sol and Ada Sha
piro have pledged to under
write an entire diabetes
research fellowship for two
years through Charlotte
Benefactors For The Cure, a
special project of Juvenile
Diabetes Foundation Interna
tional (JDF). The fellowship
will be named The Ostrow-
Shapiro Fund of Charlotte
Benefactors For The Cure.
When asked about their gift,
Ada Shapiro explained that
she has seen the devastation
of diabetes smd knows that the
answers are needed quickly.
“Diabetes does not discrimi
nate by age or background. It
can strike everyone as it has
our families and friends.” Cin-
di Ostrow commented, “We
look at our healthy children
and realize that others deserve
the same opportunities.”
Because Sol’s mother died
from complications of diabetes
and the recent loss of Sol and
Joel’s friend, Bernard Richter,
also to complications of dia
betes, it made it even more
urgent that they put into ef
fect their desire to support the
research into the causes, com-
phcations and cure of diabetes.
When pledging their gifts, Joel
Ostrow and Sol Shapiro said
that their families wanted to
fully fund a research grant to
ensure that expert work could
be done in a short period of
time. “The work of Roz Green-
spon has influenced us to
make this commitment. We
have seen how the research
Cindi & Joel Ostrow
dollars are being used.”
In September 1988, the
research recipient of the
Ostrow-Shapiro funded fel
lowship will be chosen by the
Medical-Science Advisory
Board of Juvenile Diabetes
Foundation International and
announced in various national
publications along with other
JDF funded research.
Charlotte Benefactors was
started in 1984 by Roz Green-
spon who in 1971 founded the
Charlotte JDF chapter. When
discussing the Ostrow-Shapiro
gift, Mrs. Greenspon seiid,
“These families have set a
remarkable exeunple and a new
precedent for diabetes re
search funding through
Charlotte Benefactors. Sol and
Ada, Joel and Cindi are shar-
Ada & Sol Shapiro
ing their generosity with mil
lions of others.” The Benefac
tors project is supported with
major gifts from corporations
and individuals throughout
the Charlotte/Mecklenburg
community. In its ZVz years of
existence through Juvenile
Diabetes Foundation, more
than 35 Benefactors have con
tributed nearly $100,000
which has funded six research
grants, one of which was
chosen for publication in the
prestigious medical mageizine.
The New England Journal Of
Medicine.
