Kalu 4 Kids

OVERVIEW

Mr. Kalu truly believes in the saying, “knowledge is power”. This is the reason he has donated over thousands of dollars to various educational programs and charitable organizations he has created. In 1998 Mr. Kalu started the Mr. Quig scholarship program, based out of San Antonio Texas. The scholarship is named after Mr. Kalu’s 12th grade trigonometry teacher who was killed in a car accident. The scholarship awards college bound students $2,500.00 to assist them with college related expenses.

In 2006 Mr. Kalu created Kalu 4 Kids 501 (c) 3. The organization’s purpose is to help provide low income, disadvantaged, students the basic school supplies they need to compete in the class room and other learning environments. It is important to know that Kalu 4 Kids does not and will not obtain any employees or contracted help. Every dollar raised is used to fulfill the mission of Kalu 4 Kids. We thank all our volunteers that help make this possible.
