Baltimore-Native Presented Key To D.C. For Philanthropy Work

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A Maryland man who has given millions to some of Washington’s most treasured monuments was given something in return.
The gift itself was small, but the honor was not.
When an earthquake heavily damaged the Washington Monument, the son of a Baltimore postal worker donated $8 million toward repairs. That’s when David Rubenstein first came into the spotlight.
He was in the spotlight again this week, when he was presented a key to the city by D.C.’s mayor.
