One person CAN make a difference.
In July, 2009, Dallas attorney Hank Alterman stopped for a quick meal at a local diner before meeting a client.
While chatting with his waiter, Hank learned the young man wanted to attend college but simply did not have the funds for tuition.
Hank could not get that young man out of his thoughts.
How he wished he could do something for him, something more substantial than leaving a generous tip!
Hank became determined to help as many local people as he possibly could.
The Scholarship Fund, a non-profit 501(c )(3 ) corporation was born!
In its first 20 years, Hank Alterman and his handful of volunteers raised more than $460,000 to benefit 55 Dallas-area students. With this help, and along with their own dedication and diligence, these young people have gone on to become engineers, healthcare workers, social workers, teachers, policy makers, attorneys and more.
One person CAN make a difference.
And that person can be YOU!
