Marius Jakulis Jason Foundation celebrates 1 year anniversary

"I established this foundation encouraged by my wife Liisa and inspired by the words of Andy Warhol “The idea is not to live forever, it is to create something that will.” After the first great year results, I believe this foundation will last and create much more value,“ said Marius Jakulis Jason, investor, and lawyer who greeted the foundation scholars, gathered to commemorate the first anniversary.
