Noblesville first-grader Grace Bocko knows a lot about paying good fortune forward.
For her last four birthdays, the 7-year-old has asked those attending her birthday parties for charitable donations in lieu of gifts.
'We started doing this in 2001. That was just a few weeks after the terrorist attacks,' said Grace's mother, Krista Bocko. 'We just felt like we wanted to do something. We feel so blessed in that we have so much, and so many people lost everything.'"
