CINCINNATI, Sept. 14, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saul Schottenstein Foundation B has made a grant to The Boston Jewish Film Festival in support of the organization's ReelAbilities: the NY Disabilities Film Festival ("Reelabilities"). The contribution shall be used to assist The Boston Jewish Film Festival in making the Reelabilities Film Festival: Traveling Program available to communities in the Greater Boston area.
The Reelabilities Film Festival promotes awareness and appreciation of the lives, stories and artistic expressions of people with differing abilities. The festival is designed to help raise consciousness and educate people to transform their ideas about what it means to have a disability, to promote awareness, in order to foster a more caring, sensitive and inclusive community. Jeffrey P. Harris, Saul Schottenstein's nephew and a trustee of Saul Schottenstein Foundation B, believes the contribution furthers the foundation's mission to partner with organizations that foster human acceptance, organic oneness of life, and helping people experience their common humanity.
The Saul Schottenstein Foundation B was established in 2009 by the Estate of Saul S. Schottenstein. Visit the Saul Schottenstein Foundation B Web site at www.saulschottensteinfoundationb.org.
