Grady Sophomore Named Among Georgia's 20 Under 20

A sophomore is among young Georgia leaders named to the Georgia 20 Under 20 list.

The group includes authors, nonprofit founders, philanthropists and community advocates from Georgia who are under 20-years-old.

Kyle Cobb, a sophomore at Grady, was one of three Atlanta Public Schools students to make the list.

From Atlanta Public Schools:

Kyle Cobb is a Sophomore at Henry W. Grady High School. One year after receiving a life-saving organ transplant, Kyle founded Kyle’s Kids, a foundation to help children facing renal failure. Kyle’s Kids helps children on dialysis by bringing awareness to their individual situation, raising needed funds for a transplant and educating the African American community about the need for organ donation. Kyle was also awarded Camper of the Year at Camp Independence, a camp for children with kidney diseases, for voluntarily giving of his time to provide company to children who still endure dialysis.
