"Dave Aldrich is on to something. Grab The Torch has a lofty mission: To teach the principles of philanthropy to the next generation – deliberately and with intention. His focus is on the adolescent who is moving through high school into college; his idea is to capture their attention and passion early so that they can be better prepared to continue the noble tradition of giving – a tradition that characterizes our very heritage. His Philanthropy Camp offers an incredible educational experience for students that are truly committed to make a difference. Hip hip for GTT; it’s a good thing."
