American Associates of Ben-Gurion University honors $650 million fundraiser
Philip Gomperts, a major fundraiser for the university in the Negev and a friend of Howard and Lottie Marcus, who themselves gave $400 million after initially investing with Warren Buffett, believes that the future of Israel lies in the desert.
(April 22, 2021 / JNS) South African-born Philip Gomperts had been working for American Associates of Ben-Gurion University (AABGU) of the Negev for several years when he asked a donor if she had any neighbors who might be willing to meet with him.
He knew that personal introductions were better than cold calls, and he wanted to make the most of his time as he was shuttling back and forth between northern and southern California for work.
