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.
