Gerald Monter Generously Donates

You cannot live for so many decades running your own successful business without finding one or two noble causes to support. Gerald Monter is the founder and CEO of The Holiday Organization begun over six decades ago. Gerald Monter lived the "American Dream" when he created his own real estate developing company in 1951, in New York after changing his profession from teaching. Gerald Monter is the founder and CEO of The Holiday Organization, which he created in 1951 to develop real estate properties. It was originally called Holiday Park Inc, but the name changed when the company expanded to also building apartments, office buildings, and shopping centers. In the course of building properties, there are different corporations/names used for each and every property built.

When Gerald Monter set out as an entrepreneur he hoped his company would grow in success. Through lots of work, luck, and sleepless nights Gerald Monter watched his company develop over 8,000 residential buildings as well as some commercial buildings. His company's success meant that Gerald Monter grew to be a self-created wealthy man. 

Gerald Monter celebrated his success but also knew that the money he made could also be used to benefit others less fortunate than him. With a caring heart, he gave generously to many different charities and organizations within his local area and nationally. Two of the longest programs he's supported are the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health Care System and the American Cancer Society.

Cancer hits at different age levels. It is nearly impossible to find anyone who hasn't known someone to struggle with or pass away from cancer. That is why Gerald Monter supports multiple cancer organizations. Gerald Monter took his charity work a step further and donated the Monter Cancer Center located on Long Island. The center opened in March of 2006 and was an extremely generous $17 million to create. 

Gerald Monter wanted the facility to offer the best care in a comfortable environment. The facility has indoor gardens and skylights, social work and support services, nutrition counseling and a patient education center, and physician offices and a high-tech conference room with teleconferencing abilities. The center provides patients with the latest in oncology treatment all thanks to Gerald Monter.
