Anna is also an Ambassador of GoodLot, the online charity gaming site. Anna has chosen that the donation will benefit an interactive learning project on freedom and human rights, following the footsteps of her grand parents and their establishment of the United Nations.
Ms. Roosevelt comments: “The new venture GoodLot promises to be an extraordinarily successful means of charitable giving, with a significant percentage of the gross proceeds going directly to charity. I admire greatly what GoodLot is setting out to do.”
She received the cheque at the Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt Institute in Hyde Park, in front of US Senators and Congress, peace makers, and the Roosevelt families.
The Four Freedom Award are based on the four essential freedoms that were defined by the late US president Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Four Freedom Laureates 2003 include Senators George Mitchell and Robert Byrd. Pulitzer Prize winner Arthur Schlesinger also received an Honorary Award.
With a relaxation of the protectionist US administration, initiatives which combine gaming and fundraising could benefit more US good causes.
With its unique online betting fundraising, GoodLot aims to contribute to the education of the struggle for freedom. This echoes the mission of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute within the US and transatlantic relations with the Roosevelt Foundation in The Netherlands. reflects the Roosevelt Dutch ancestry; Roosevelt meaning “Field of Roses”
Therefore GoodLot Mission Representative Simon Jelsma and Sara Waller offered 10 roses, symbolic of every $1,000 to the esteemed host.
