Remembering Bob Macauley


Bob Macauley

We are profoundly saddened by the loss of our founder and great friend, Bob Macauley. While we will miss him greatly, AmeriCares remains focused on his vision of helping many more people live longer, healthier lives. Indeed, we can do him no greater honor than to continue his legacy of caring for people in need. Bob's unwavering commitment to helping others strengthens our resolve to do what we can to lift up the humanitarian ideal…to invest in people, in their health and well-being and reinforce the belief in our shared humanity. We ask you to join us in celebrating his life and legacy so we can seek a better future: a future that brings health and hope to people in desperate need…one life at a time. The AmeriCares family extends its deepest sympathies to Leila and the Macauley family. We have all been enriched and inspired by Bob. We are honored to have known such a remarkable person - a man who gave proof to the belief that one person can truly make a difference in the lives of others.”

The Starfish Fund

If people would like to make a donation in Bob’s honor, and in appreciation of his values and legacy, we’ve established the “Starfish Fund” – naming the fund after the story Bob loved about the boy who made a difference saving starfish washed up on a beach, one starfish at a time. Please say a prayer for Bob – and for all the millions of families assisted by AmeriCares – and the millions more we will continue to help.
