Like many Americans, 27-year-old Chris Gross was appalled by the
Oklahoma-City bombing. He was especially troubled by the children who lost their parents. “I always thought that if most parents
had a dying wish for their children, they would say, ‘Go to college,
make something of yourselves,” says Chris. He decided to start a
scholarship fund for them, starting by donating his own salary for
a year and inviting others to pitch in. Thanks to Chris’ generosity
and determination, the fund now has over $4 million – enough for
all 207 children to go any college they choose.
