Pharmacy Perspectives - Winter/Spring 2017 - 8

Showcase :
THE MOWERS AND
THEIR MASTERPIECES
The Mowers have been married since
1965, and Mort teasingly calls it "a
mixed marriage." He loves pop artists
like Andy Warhol and the graffiti
artist Keith Haring. Toby favors
Impressionists. There have been a
few disagreements over acquisitions
as their collection has evolved.
"He has a plan, and I have a plan, but
we haven't decided whose plan to follow,"
Toby joked. "We buy what we love."

They began collecting in the 1990s.
Their collection has grown so large that
their Denver condominium overflows
with paintings and sculptures. Works
from illustrious artists hang in the
kitchen and are stashed under the bed.
The Mowers' collection includes
about 170 sketches by Rembrandt.
Theirs is one of the largest privately
owned collections of the Dutch master's sketches, and the best works will
be on display at the Fulginiti this fall.

Toby and Mort have contributed generously

of Jewish addicts who suffer from the
pain and stigma of substance abuse.

ubstance abuse advocate, Toby Mower is a
registered nurse, holds
a BS degree from Johns
Hopkins University, a
master's degree in clinical psychology from Loyola University (both
in Baltimore), and an honorary
PhD from Ben-Gurion University of
the Negev (AABGU). Mower says,
"Addiction is a disease and it kills
like cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Or it cannot kill like cancer,
heart disease or diabetes, with the
right treatment."
Toby and her husband, Mort,
have funded several important
programs at Ben-Gurion
University, including numerous
scholarships in the areas of
high-tech and nursing, as well as
the Dr. Morton and Toby Mower
Chair in Shock-Wave Studies, and
the Toby Mower Curriculum for
the Prevention and Treatment
of Addiction. Both are members
of BGU's international Board of
Governors and the prestigious
Ben-Gurion Society.

"Toby and Mort have contributed generously to several very
important programs at BGU, and
have worked tirelessly on behalf
of Jewish addicts who suffer from
the pain and stigma of substance
abuse," said AABGU Executive Vice
President Doron Krakow.
In recognition of both her
philanthropic leadership and her
remarkable vision for the future
of higher education in Israel, Toby
received an honorary doctoral
degree from BGU in 2010.
Both she and her husband
also serve on the National Jewish
Recovery Houses (JRH) in Baltimore,
including the first specifically for
Jewish women in the U.S. JRH assists
Jewish men and women in the
early stages of recovery from drug
and alcohol addiction. In addition
to JRH, Toby and Mort serve on
Mountain States Boards of Jewish
National Fund (JNF), as consultants
to the Board of Starting Hearts in
Eagle County, and support the Vilar
Performing Arts Center in Beaver
Creek, CO.
