John Moores has helped his team hit balls out of the park, and has also done his own home runs when it comes to helping others. When he contributed $51 million to the University of Houston in 1991, it was largest contribution in U.S. history to a public university. He worked to make Proposition 209 pass, which wouldn’t allow employers discriminate when it came to employing minorities and LGBT groups. He also founded the River Blindness Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to research and treatment of Onchocerciasis which is the second most common cause of infectious blindness. In addition to that medical foundation , he and his wife have also created the John and Rebecca Moores Cancer Center at University of California, San Diego, and have donated $21 million to the cause. He has been regent on both the University of Houston System Board of Regents and the University of California and has extensively donated funds to both schools.
