A California attorney changed his plans to buy a big, expensive boat and decided instead to use that money to send a class of kindergartners to college.
Marty Burbank visited an elementary School in Anaheim with his wife and told the parents of 26 five- and six year-olds that he wanted to pay for all of their kids to go to college in 2032.
Burbank said he decided that instead of buying a boat, he could use the money to help others. He said, “Buying a boat was a very selfish thing for me, and I can do so much more to impact the lives of these kids.”
Burbank promised to pay their tuition starting in 2032 and estimates that it will eventually cost him around $1 million. There's only one thing he asks in return – that every year, the students submit an essay explaining what they'd like to do when they grow up.
One stunned parents says, “I just can't believe it. I can't. I don't believe someone would be this interested in paying the tuition of this many kids.”
