A three-year, $250,000 pledge to the Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida Chapter was recently completed by the Saul and Theresa Esman Foundation. This gift will be put to immediate use by the Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida Chapter to assist more than 150,000 individuals being affected with Alzheimer’s disease and their families. The Saul and Theresa Esman Foundation was created by Theresa Esman in 2008 after Saul, her husband of 50 years, passed away. Saul Esman built a successful sporting good business in Pittsburgh and after selling the business in 1979, the couple made South Florida their home. Theresa now resides in Bal Harbour and began a “legacy” of charitable giving to fight diseases. The Foundation donates to several charitable organizations, funding research in Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis and epilepsy, among others.
