During Timothy Campbell's freshman year at Lakewood High School, he found a flier in his English class that asked this question: 'How would it feel to give away $15,000?'
Intrigued by the offer, Campbell scanned the pamphlet and called a phone number he saw, which connected him to Denver-based Rose Community Foundation, a multimillion-dollar organization that supports metro-area programs on aging, education, health, Jewish life and family and child development.
'At the time, I didn't even know what philanthropy was,' said Campbell, 18, now a freshman at Metropolitan State College of Denver."
