Grant To Beef Up Services For Veterans At South Coast University

A foundation has donated more than $200,000 to help veterans who are students at a South Coast university.

The Dr. Richard Grossman Burn Foundation is giving $220,000 to the Cal State Channel Islands Veterans Affair Program.

The money will support various programs and services for veterans who are students at the university. It will also support a service dog program to help student veterans with PTSD.

The foundation was founded by a famed plastic surgeon who devoted his life to helping burn victims. The Grossman Burn Center in the San Fernando Valley continues the late doctor’s legacy.

Lance Orozco has been News Director of KCLU since 2001, providing award-winning coverage of some of the biggest news events in the region, including the Thomas and Woolsey brush fires, the deadly Montecito debris flow, the Borderline Bar and Grill attack, and Ronald Reagan's funeral.
