The American SetA Charity First Written Into Fiction Now Exists for Real
The Irina Foundation began as an invention of the story "Heated Rivalry," where it was founded by two of its characters, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. It is now being established as an actual foundation. A charity that readers first met in a work of fiction is turning into a real one. In a town that measures its season by its benefits, it is a pleasure to see generosity cross that line.
