Malcolm Woldenberg was a Canadian-born American businessman and philanthropist who made a significant impact in New Orleans. He co-founded the Magnolia Marketing Company, which later became the Sazerac Company, and dedicated his wealth to supporting local, national, and international charities. Woldenberg's legacy of caring and confidence in the city is commemorated by a life-size bronze statue of him and his grandson in Woldenberg Riverside Park.
Woldenberg's contributions extended beyond business, as he was an active civic leader in the New Orleans Jewish community and supported causes related to the elderly, children's health, education, and the arts. His philanthropic efforts also reached international shores, with the ALYN Woldenberg Family Hospital in Jerusalem named in honor of him and his wife, Dorothy. The park, named after Malcolm Woldenberg, serves as a testament to his success and generosity, symbolizing his lasting impact on the city of New Orleans.
