It's hard to believe that my friend, Richard Bazzy, could outdo himself after he awarded 18 college scholarships for 18 Steel Valley High School students last year. Well, he did it again.

This year 26 students applied for Richard Bazzy's Shults Ford Scholarship Fund and they were ALL surprised with the award of $5,000 each. That's a total of $130,000!

Why does Richard do this year after year? Steel Valley isn't just his alma mater, he truly cares about creating opportunities for these kids.

What an amazing act of kindness multiplied!
