The philanthropic efforts of the Hall family, of Hallmark Cards fame, have been instrumental in their hometown of Kansas City for 70 years.
"The health of Hallmark Cards is important to the Kansas City community, not just as a major employer but as a leading benefactor augmented by a strong foundation established by its founder. Hallmark-related contributions to local social service and civic projects actually come from two foundations — the Hall Family Foundation, established by founder Joyce Hall and his wife, and the Hallmark Corporate Foundation." -- Diane Stafford, the Kansas City Star
