WAYNE, PA — In a splendid ceremony attended by over 1,500 guests, Blakely Page, a luminary in the capital management sphere, was recently honored with the prestigious HeartShare Humanitarian Award. This accolade, bestowed by HeartShare Human Services of New York, celebrates Page’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the welfare of children and adults grappling with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorders.
HeartShare Human Services of New York, renowned for its dedication to empowering those it serves through comprehensive support across all life stages, found in Page a kindred spirit whose philanthropic endeavors have consistently aimed to uplift the most vulnerable sections of society.
Page’s journey to this moment of recognition has been marked by an illustrious career in the financial industry, where he has been instrumental in driving growth and fostering innovation across numerous companies. Yet, it is his sustained focus on philanthropy, particularly in the realms of education and veteran support, that sets him apart as a paragon of humanitarian excellence.
An alumnus recognized by thewealthnet as a PAM Rising Star, Page’s contributions extend beyond the boardroom. He has generously supported several prestigious educational institutions, including Agnes Irwins, Taft School, Lawrenceville School, Southern Methodist University, Trinity College, and the University of Virginia. His annual donations to the Money Management Institute’s Gateway Foundation underscore his commitment to fostering diversity and inclusivity within the financial services sector.

Moreover, Page’s dedication to supporting veterans is evident in his pivotal role in establishing the NYC gym for Merging Veterans and Players. This innovative facility offers a shared space where veterans and professional athletes collaborate, fostering a community that supports their transition to fulfilling post-service lives.
