Santa's Gift: True Stories of Courage, Humor, Hope and Love

Since the mid-1990s, Helzberg Diamonds CEO Jeffrey Comment has been dressing up as Santa each holiday season and visiting pediatric hospitals to give gifts and provide hope to desperately sick children. Out of this experience has come Comment's strong belief that philanthropy is a wonderful thing, both for the recipient and for the giver. For Santa's Gift, he has enlisted an impressive group of contributors--among them Elton John, Norman Lear, and Warren Buffett--to share their experiences of how philanthropy has enriched their lives as well as those of the people they've helped.
