History of the Never Forgotten Fund Following the Columbine tragedy in April 1999, 850 KOA and parent company, Clear Channel, created The Never Forgotten Fund. The Fund ensures that the names of the 13 lost at Columbine are never forgotten by awarding one scholarship annually in each of their names. In the initial year, the scholarships were awarded exclusively to Columbine students. In March 2000 the scholarship application process was broadened to include students and faculty in the entire Denver Metro area. Over 70 applications were received. A selection committee of community leaders, including Columbine High School and Clear Channel representatives, reviewed the applications and selected the 13 scholarship recipients. A recognition dinner was held on May 25, 2000 to honor the recipients as well as those lost at Columbine. Vehicle Donations Donate a car in support of the Never Forgotten Fund, to ensure that the names of the thirteen lost in the Columbine tragedy are never forgotten. Translate your unwanted vehicle—car, van, truck, boat, RV, or plane—into funds for annual scholarships. Just call a customer service representative, available any day of the week, or donate online. Save yourself the hassle of selling your vehicle, and help yourself to a tax deduction, if you itemize, for the fair market value of the donated vehicle. Click here to learn more about car donation. Our Purpose To award 12 students and one teacher who exemplify volunteerism and leadership within their school and surrounding community with a one-time $5,000 scholarship. Each scholarship is awarded in the name of a life lost at Columbine. Our Goal To continue this effort for years to come, Clear Channel’s goal is to raise $1.3 million. To date over $800,000 has been raised through corporate donations and the sale of the Never Forgotten pin.
