He rebuilt the Woolman Rink in Central park after the NY City GVt sunk millions into it and could not get the refidgeration system to work .

He asked to have the property transfered to him in the form of a Trust with a limited time horizon so that he did not have to deal with all of the city construction red-tape .
He sunk millions into it and then turned it over to the City and it still is operating just fine about 30 years later .
He paid for a major ice skating show as the inaugural even . He flew skaters in from all over the country and their chaperons , put them up in hotels and gave them expense money . One of the skaters recruited and flown in to entertain the dignitaries and public was my then 12 year old daughter .
He had a separate reception to thank all of the skaters where he went around and made sure to speak with each and every skater and their family members.
Over Columbus Day my now 42 year old daughter is bringing her 2 daughters to NY to skate on that same rink with her .
I know that he has done many other such acts but I`m not going to spend anytime digging them out . Believe whatever you want and sit in stew in your own venom .
