MURRAY SLATER FOUNDATION

The Murray Slater Foundation became active in 2017 after Murray's death in May of that year. Murray's ultimate goal was to provide modest financial support for individuals, educations, or programming that, in his words, could, "potentially provide benefits to mankind."... Murray decided at a young age to get a good education and work hard so that he and his family would never again be in a position of extreme financial hardship. During his high school years, Murray worked after school creating dentures for his Uncle Jack who was a dentist. He also worked for Max Factor mixing and testing make-up compounds... Murray Herbert Slater was born on New Year's Eve, 1922 in Los Angeles, California to Samuel, from Odessa, Russia, and Mary, from Piryatin, Russia. Murray was also welcomed home by his 7 year old brother, Alfred.
