Neil Kadisha of Omninet Capital Hails Phoenix House's Recent Fundraising Success

Beverly Hills, CA - April 03, 2009  

 

Former Qualcomm Director and current Managing Partner of Omninet Capital, Neil Kadisha applauded the successful fundraising efforts of Phoenix House, a drug rehabilitation charity with more than one hundred facilities in nine states. 
 

Due in large part to the hard work of private equity manager Dan Fireman, Co-Founder of Fireman Capital Partners and a Board Member of the Paul and Phyllis Fireman Foundation, Phoenix House has been able to secure much needed financial support when many other charities are struggling to fund their programs in a difficult economic downturn. 
 

Neil Kadisha commented, "Every friend and supporter of Phoenix House is treasured, because the organization's tremendous accomplishments are the direct result of its broad base of supporters. However, when a supporter like Dan Fireman steps up the way he has, despite the ongoing economic challenges that are affecting charities throughout the country, it is truly noteworthy."

 

Fireman raised $150,000 in donations from his colleagues and secured a $100,000 donation from the Paul and Phyllis Fireman Foundation.

 

Celebrity supporters of Phoenix House include Beyonce, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Shaquille O'Neal and Wyclef Jean.

 

Neil Kadisha, a major investor and former Director of Qualcomm and currently the Managing Partner of Beverly Hills-based Omninet Capital, is a member of the Board of Directors of Phoenix House of California.
