The purpose is not ours, but a continuation of Zane's. A vision that each child would have a chance to make it to the top of the hill. The question arises how did Zane define the top of the hill? Heaven. The purpose of this foundation and scholarship is to make sure every child gets the chance to make it to the top of the hill. We believe that providing children with a Christian education prepares them for their journey through this life to the top. The purpose of this scholarship is to assist as many families as possible to give their kids an affordable Christian education.
