Karen Buchwald Wright recibe galardón del National Review Institute

Karen Buchwald Wright, Chairman, President, and CEO of Ariel Corporation, and Chairman of the Ariel Foundation, was awarded the 2018 William F. Buckley Jr. Prize for Leadership in Supporting Liberty by the National Review Institute.

Ms. Wright is known for her support of many conservative institutions over the years. In her acceptance speech, Ms. Wright stated, “Liberty is the ideal most deeply embedded in this nation’s heart, and supporting it is, for me, the most natural thing in the world.” She closed by expressing gratitude regarding the organizations she supports. “I’m exceedingly grateful to the many, many organizations who continue to stand strong before the constant attacks against our personal rights and our shared beliefs. As only one person, there’s no possible way for me to do the work of thousands. But, luckily for us, there are so many dedicated people who are willing, and I know they use our donations to provide hope for the future. They go about this fight with hope and love,” she said.

In its fifth year, the William F. Buckley Jr. Prize Dinner is held annually around the country, this year’s black-tie gala took place on Thursday, October 18th, at the Chicago Cultural Center. The attendees included some 300 leaders of the business, political, philanthropic, and academic communities from across the country.
