WASHINGTON , D.C. (Feb. 10, 2012) – Fred Morsell, scholar
and impersonator, keeps the spirit of Frederick Douglass alive through his
educational performance of "Presenting Mr. Frederick Douglass." Morsell
has brought this performance to over 500 schools and communities nationally
since 1988, highlighting Douglass’ keys to success including, believing
in yourself, taking advantage of every opportunity and using the power of the
written and spoken language to effect positive change for yourself
and society.

festivity at the Frederick Douglass museum on Feb. 14 in celebration of Douglass’ 194th
birthday.

Mission
The Caring Institute is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1985 to honor and promote the values of caring, integrity, and public service. Inspired by the example of Mother Teresa, we at the institute believe most problems can be solved if human beings truly care for one another. We celebrate those special individuals who transcend self and devote their lives to serving the disadvantaged, poor, disabled, and dying. Their enduring dedication to caring uplifts us all and ennobles the human race.
Goals
We’re committed to spreading the caring credo: you can do well by doing good. Success, as we constantly stress, is defined by having a passionate concern for the welfare of others. To reinforce this message, we continue to broadcast a new standard of social responsibility. Behind all our endeavors — past, present, and future — is the central concept that one person can make a difference. |

We Remember Coach John Wooden
John Wooden, a 2008 Caring Award honoree, passed
away at age 99 on Friday, June 4th, 2010. While he is known for his
illustrious coaching career, which included leading the UCLA basketball
team to an unprecedented 10 national titles, he is most remembered for
his caring nature and commitment to serving others. He coached his players
about more than just basketball. He coached them about life and how
to succeed with integrity. He always expected the best of his players
and of himself living by the belief that, “you
can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who
will never be able to repay you”. We at the Caring Institute are
honored to have known Coach Wooden and continue to
be inspired by his lessons and example.
An interview with Coach Wooden can be found here.
