John,
It's been a little more than week since the devastating earthquakes in Turkey
and Syria, and the scenes of destruction and stories of loss are tragic beyond
measure.
Against that heartbreaking reality, we also see people from all over the
world stepping up and stepping in to rescue survivors, cook meals, provide
shelter, and so much more. We are working with a number of humanitarian
organizations on the ground, and we encourage you to learn more about them and,
if you can, help support their relief efforts for the people of Turkey and
Syria:

her optimistic, and how Bloomberg Philanthropies teams work to keep innovating

of people live longer, better lives.

ICYMI: $420 Million to Continue Progress Against Tobacco Use
<[link removed]>
Global smoking rates have been dropping for years. But smoking remains the
leading cause of preventable death around the world, and the tobacco industry
is relentlessly trying to roll back progress and addict new customers —
including young people. To meet those efforts head on, Bloomberg Philanthropies
is committing an additional $420 million over four years to theBloomberg
Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use
<[link removed]>
. This investment, which brings Bloomberg's total commitment to tobacco control
to more than $1.58 billion since 2005, will be used for programs focused on
curbing tobacco use in low- and middle-income countries, and reducing
e-cigarette use among U.S. teenagers.
