About
Our Founder, Ellis Goodman
Allow us to introduce a Hero of Hope who has touched
countless lives with his “Keep Hope Alive” initiative. From
public, private, and multi-national organizations, to health
care facilities, educational institutions and local
community centers, as well as speaking at regional and
international conferences, Ellis Goodman shines his
inspirational ray of hope on audiences everywhere.
As a tenacious advocate for the rights of men, women, and
children, and with a powerful voice for those whose voices
are often ignored, Ellis is a champion of the underdog, as
well as a stalwart supporter of unsung heroes throughout
America. As a fascinating storyteller, Ellis radiates the
message of hope coupled with his ability to reach hearts,
while elevating the spirit of all whose lives he touches.
A devoted husband, father, author, attorney,
real estate consultant, disabilities advocate, domestic
violence counselor, shelter volunteer, avid sailor, world
traveler, and a tireless source of kindness and compassion
for those in need, Ellis’ actions speak louder than words
through his commitment to elevate the quality of life for
those who need a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on.
Just recently, in keeping hope alive for at risk adults and
children, Ellis traveled through eight Eastern European and
three Middle East nations, providing assurances of financial
aid and much needed provisions and resources for regional
medical clinics, local schools, and patient rehab centers.
Whether it’s making dreams come true for
girls and boys facing a life threatening illness,
passionately lobbying for bullying prevention legislation,
delivering holiday food baskets to needy families,
distributing school and hygienic supplies to villages along
the Amazon River, collecting warm winter clothing and
toiletries for the homeless, dedicating Magic Penny Wishing
Wells, staffing a domestic violence crisis hot line,
awarding medals to Special Olympics athletes and Heroes of
Hope, rocking premature babies in a neonatal transitional
care unit, supplying suits and shoes to graduates of a drug
rehabilitation program, passing along “smiles with stickers”
to kids at pediatric cancer centers, or welcoming home our
troops as they arrive back in America, Ellis can be counted
on to stand up for the little guy, because his unwavering
commitment to keep hope alive has no bounds.
To all who know him, Ellis Goodman
exemplifies Winston Churchill’s eloquent statement – “We
make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we
give.”
