Rosenthal established The Rosenthal Foundation and through it donated $5 million for the $35.7M Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), built in downtown Cincinnati.〔 Designed by celebrated architect Zaha Hadid the center has become a mecca for emerging artists and patrons in the mid-west. In recognition for their contribution and deep involvement in its creation, the center was named The Lois and Richard Rosenthal CAC. The Rosenthal Foundation made a $2.15 million grant to the Cincinnati Art Museum to make admission to the Eden Park art museum permanently free to all. The foundation also made a $300,000 gift to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to sponsor the Eternal Flame of Freedom at the center, which graces the Cincinnati riverfront. Together with her husband, Lois co-founded the Lois and Richard Rosenthal Institute for Justice (RIJ), based at the University of Cincinnati School of Law, to "harness the idealism, energy and intellect of law students, turning those qualities into a vehicle for positive social and legal change in Cincinnati, the state of Ohio, and beyond."〔http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/09/07/loc_loc3acenter.html〕 The couple also founded Uptown Arts, an Over-the-Rhine arts academy that offers free lessons to 300 inner-city children each year in such disciplines as art, music and dance.〔 Uptown arts is housed in a restored three-story, Liberty Street building that also houses The Rosenthal Foundation. Lois launched the Rosey Reader Program, which distributes free books to inner-city schools. With her husband, she co-founded the Rosenthal Next Generation Theater Series at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park which introduces children to plays. Her work at the Cincinnati Freestore Foodbank enables distribution of fresh foods to the needy. In their effort to fund emerging artists, she and her husband sponsored a ballet called "Blue Until June" that was choreographed to the music of Etta James. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lois Rosenthal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
