living room and came up with a goal, raise enough money to give a few kids $3,000 to help with college. now, that amount has stayed the same but so much else has grown. charles likes taking chances on young people. perhaps it's because over the past 11 years the peninsula fund he started has taken chances on more than 150 low income first in their family to go to college high school graduates and 90% of them have gotten their four-year degree. perhaps it's also because someone once took a chance on charles. although a little later in life. after a career in advertising, charles decided he

jose state and a friend for life. >> charles, he really cares. he really cares about how we're doing. >> in america what you can do isly the really change the horizon, change the script in one generation, and it's all tied to education. >> what charles means by that is not only do you have this generation of college graduates but when they go on to have kids, they will go to college as well. there is obviously the mentoring. 150 mentors stay with these kids all through college. it not only helps them get through college but now they're also working on job skills for after college and this really does a great job of taking the kids, not just giving them the money, which is -- $3,000 doesn't pay for all your college, but it's going to get them all the way through with all the other things they offer. >> and hopefully in turn they help somebody else. >> some of the alum knew are turning around and helping new scholarships. remember that big sinkhole in moraga that opened up
