Hassenfeld featured on R.I. Foundation’s inaugural ‘Pioneers’ podcast

PROVIDENCE – Some seats are still available for the Rhode Island Foundation’s inaugural “Pioneers” podcast featuring an interview with Hasbro Inc. Executive Committee Chairman Alan G. Hassenfeld.

Mary-Kim Arnold, local author, teacher and artist, will interview Hassenfeld, a pioneer in improving the lives of children through toys, as a child health advocate and as a civic leader. In 2015, Hassenfeld established the Hassenfeld Child Health Institute with a $12.5 million gift. The institute, located at Brown University and created in collaboration with Hasbro Children’s Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital, targets autism, asthma, obesity and other urgent problems affecting the health of children.
