The Onyx and Breezy Foundation of which Corey Ribotsky is a member of the Board of Trustees, is more than just an association working towards protecting and safeguarding the quality of live of dogs. This organization was originally set up to: “provide financial support to credible organizations and individuals that benefit the welfare of animals.” But it goes even further than that. Maybe because the founders want to focus on the positive – as they remember positive times from their dogs – the Onyx and Breezy Foundation also seeks to put on enjoyable events for its benefactors.

Corey Ribotsky on Enjoyable Events at the Foundation

It’s always nice to be treated well as a supporter of an organization. It’s great when you feel like it is a two-way thing. At the Onyx and Breezy Foundation, these events seek to do just that. Board member Corey Ribotsky might be interested in the organization’s recent and upcoming events. These include the first annual island gala (during March of this year) held at a jazz club and restaurant in Florida, the wine tasting and auction on Broadway, New York (in April) and the 6^th annual black tie gala in New Jersey (due to be held in October). While the organization was set up in memory of dogs who passed on (signifying a sad time), these events are also there to remind supporters of all the fun times had during the lives they shared with “man’s best friend.”

Today, all the educational institutions at which Corey Ribotsky studied, maintain their reputation for academic excellence. (He also was a student at the Leonard N.

What is interesting to note however, is that the State University of New York at Stony Brook is up there along with only 93 other educational institutions in America which have been termed a “Very High Research University” by the Carnegie Foundation. This isn’t surprising since the faculty can boast over 1,400 inventions and 400 patents.
