By now everyone knows what Warren Buffett did.The world's second richest person endowed the world's richest person's foundation - The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with a multi-billion dollar gift. The Gates Foundation addresses two key global issues - education and health.

Buffett's actions should encourage other mega-wealthy people to do the same thing. Who in Sacramento will do it the Warren Buffett way?

This is my dream - Sacramento pools its vast resources to create an entrepreneurship foundation patterned after the Kauffman Foundation. Ewing Marion Kauffman, founder of Kansas City based Marion Laboratories, Inc., created the Kauffman Foundation to help young people with disadvantaged backgrounds. The foundation with an asset base of $2 billion fosters education and entrepreneurship.

What's wrong with my dream? Sacramento can do it. Let's put a foundation together the Warren Buffett way.

Any takers? The Sacramento Executive stands ready to work with the community to make it happen.
