Fred Gruber Memorial Scholarship

One man's belief that anything was possible helped hundreds of needy children and their families.

This scholarship is intended to honor the memory of the life of our dear friend, Fred Gruber. Fred was an active and contributing member of our Advisory Board of Directors. He was instrumental in the charity's development into a nationally recognized charity. Fred worked daily with the founder of Toys of Hope for the last few years and helped propel the charity to a new level of visibility and performance, including an award from the Governor of New York
and most recently a Presidential Award.

"Working so closely with Fred has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life." Melissa Doktofsky, Founder and President of Toys of Hope.

"Fred's faith and efforts toward helping people transform their lives was truly inspiring." Brian Hansen, Director of Operations
