INFORMATION
The Foundation was formed to allocate resources in support of education, human services, and approved philanthropic functions. Its operational reach extends across local communities. Assets totaling approximately $2.76 million remain under its stewardship.
Grants between $1,000 and $25,000 are issued at designated intervals to qualifying recipients. These distributions ensure continuity of purpose. The structure remains stable. The directive continues.
Norman Shulevitz was born in Poland in 1903, before his life had chosen its direction. He arrived in America and, in 1929, was made official as a legal citizen, but something greater had already begun. At twenty-three, he married Rose, and eventually had four children.
In the basement of their Detroit home, Norman began washing the garments of workers who had no other recourse for cleaning their uniforms, removing the marks of their labor and returning them renewed. He named the business Cadillac Overall, after the top quality of the car he loved . The work grew into a successful business. They raised four children—Joe, Bill, Mel, and Donna. For a time the boys worked in the business with him. Norman eventually bought a house on Pine Lake, which he enjoyed for many years. He was loved. His work endured. His presence remains.
