Harris Rosen, a self-made millionaire in Florida, effectively “adopted” Orlando’s struggling Tangelo Park neighborhood. He implemented comprehensive support, including free daycare for young children, parenting resources, and full college or trade school scholarships (covering tuition, room, and board) for all high school graduates.
These initiatives led to remarkable transformations: crime rates in the area significantly decreased, and the high school graduation rate surged from a mere 25% to a perfect 100%. What was once a community plagued by poverty and limited prospects has now flourished, all due to one man’s unwavering conviction in the power of education.
