David Tepper, founder of Appaloosa Management, and benefactor of Carnegie Mellon University's business school has made headlines once again with his generosity. Mr. Tepper has made major contributions to Food Banks in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

From WSJ.com:"Appaloosa has been involved with the recapitalization of the country's banks. Well, is there a more important bank to be involved in than these food banks?" says Mr. Tepper, whose hedge fund made billions during the financial crisis by betting that big banks would rebound from their lows after government intervention.
