Bill, along with his wife, Joyce, are the founders of Cummings Foundation, Inc., which was founded in 1986 and now is one of the largest in New England, as well as New Horizons not-for-profit assisted and independent living communities in Woburn and Marlborough. [...] Even though we may hold some kind of legal title, how can we really consider ourselves anything more than caretakers of the land?" With that remarkable sentiment, it is an honor, on behalf of the BBJ, to present the 2014 Visionary Award to Bill Cummings. [...] All of these local grants will be in Middlesex, Suffolk, and Essex counties, where most of both our terrific staff and our clients live and work.

[...] Our favorite advice about giving is to just forget the old idea of ―giving until it hurts.” Think instead, about ―giving until you feel really good about it.‖ For Joyce and me, this new phase of life, is clearly the most exciting and truly rewarding, since those great years when we were having and raising our four children.
