Born out of the vision and mission of Lumati, the foundation is the next bold step in our journey to elevate global health, wellness, education and longevity.
Honoring Michelle Pulaski: The Inspiration Behind the Foundation
Thirty seven years ago, Lumati’s founder and CEO, David Perez, faced a life-altering tragedy. A devastating car accident claimed the life of his passenger, Michelle Pulaski, a young woman who dreamed of becoming a doctor and dedicating her life to helping others. While this event was deeply painful for Michelle’s family and David, it planted the seed for a mission that would transform lives around the world.
In Michelle’s honor, David has tirelessly worked to bring healing and hope to as many people as possible. From his early disaster relief efforts in 2005 Hurricane Katrina, to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake to the Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Irma to his ambitious goal of positively impacting 1 billion lives during his lifetime, David’s journey has been guided by this event. The creation of the Lumati Foundation ensures that Michelle’s accident will not be in vain, inspiring and empowering generations to come.
The Mission of the Lumati Foundation
The Lumati Foundation is dedicated to education about holistic treatments, transparent science and expanding access to life-changing treatments for those that can’t afford them. The foundation’s initiatives will focus on two key pillars:
Access to HemoDetox TreatmentsFifty percent of the foundation’s proceeds will subsidize HemoDetox treatments for individuals who cannot afford them. These treatments will prioritize essential community members such as teachers, military, policeman, firefighters and nurses who selflessly serve others. Cathy D. a nurse who benefited from the foundation’s support, stated “The HemoDetox treatment changed my life. I’ve regained my energy and health—something I never thought was possible. I couldn’t have done it without the Lumati Foundation.” https://vimeo.com/1038425680?share=copy
Scholarships for Young Women Seeking a Career in Holistic Medicine The foundation will also invest in the next generation of healers and doctors by providing scholarships to young women pursuing naturopathic doctorates. These scholarships will be offered in partnership with leading institutions and colleagues committed to advancing holistic and integrative medicine.
A Commitment to Giving Back
From its inception, Lumati has been dedicated to creating a positive ripple effect in the world. The company has committed to donate 18% of its net profits to the Lumati Foundation, ensuring that its success translates into meaningful impact for those in need. Based on our current projections, this should lead to tens of millions of dollars being donated over the next decade to advance the foundation's goals.
Leadership and Governance
The Lumati Foundation will be guided by Michelle Kasteler, whose extensive experience and passion make her an exceptional choice as Executive Director. Supported by our founder, David Perez—who has personally donated to over 20 nonprofits and led campaigns raising more than $200 million for various humanitarian causes over the past two decades—the foundation will continue its mission to heal humanity and honor the legacy of Michelle Pulaski.
The foundation’s board members, to be announced by David Perez, will include prominent leaders, visionaries, and advocates dedicated to its cause.
