This evening in Atlanta, Arthur and Angie Blank hosted a screening of the film Gleason, a documentary highlighting the life and mission of former NFL safety Steve Gleason and his battle with ALS. Blank said he and his family have been moved by Gleason’s story and felt compelled to get involved in a meaningful way.
Putting people first and giving back to others speaks directly to Arthur Blank’s own personal values, but also serve as core values for every associate within the Blank Family of Businesses. Gleason holds the same values and is one of the few athletes to transcend the sport by bringing awareness and compassion to a disease impacting the lives of more than 6,000 people each year.
