CINCINNATI, Nov. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saul Schottenstein Foundation B, Jonathan L. Harris Memorial Philanthropic Fund, and Susan and Jeffrey P. Harris Family Foundation have made a grant to The Jewish Community Center of Manhattan (the "JCC Manhattan"), in support of the organization's ReelAbilities: the NY Disabilities Film Festival ("Reelabilities"). The contribution shall be used to assist the JCC Manhattan in making the Reelabilities Film Festival: Traveling Program available to communities throughout the world.
The Reelabilities Film Festival promotes awareness and appreciation of the lives, stories and artistic expressions of people with differing abilities. The festival is designed to help raise consciousness and educate people to transform their ideas about what it means to have a disability, to promote awareness, in order to foster a more caring, sensitive and inclusive community. Jeffrey P. Harris, Saul Schottenstein's nephew and a trustee of all of the foundations, believes the contribution furthers the foundations' mission to partner with organizations that foster human acceptance, organic oneness of life, and helping people experience their common humanity.
