James Taylor and His Wife Donate $350,000 To Fight Covid-19!

We here in the Northeast already know what good people James Taylor and his wife Kim are, but once again they proved it. Yesterday in a joint statement with the Berkshire Medical Center, it was announced that James and Kim donated $350,000 to launch the COVID-19 Relief Fund for Berkshire Health Systems, bolstering efforts by Berkshire Medical Center to fight the disease. In a statement, James and Kim said, "while we also spend a good deal of time in Boston, our favorite place to live our lives is Berkshire County. We are so lucky and grateful to have found a home here. In this time of great uncertainty and dire threat due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all called upon to support our heroic health care providers. Their contribution and sacrifice cannot be overstated." Last week, James and Kim donated $1 million to Massachusetts General Hospital's Emergency Preparedness Fund to fight the coronavirus pandemic. "Hospital personnel are asked to walk the talk," Taylor told The Berkshire Eagle. "This crisis brings out that there are altruistic people and self-centered people. Thank God for the ones who answered the call to altruism." "We have been frequent flyers at BMC," said Kim Taylor. "With twin athletic boys, the odds are one of them is injuring himself. James and I have also availed ourselves of the ER for tick bites to broken ankles." We know how much James and Kim love living in the Berkshires. It's why we see them every year for the Fourth of July at Tanglewood. We are so grateful to them for their incredible donations. Hopefully we can continue to battle this disease and help those on the front lines. God bless James and Kim.
