"Our family was trying to figure out 'where's a great influence in our world we can leave' and in my state that's given me so much," Alexander said. "We could literally have our state physically looking different in 30 years if thousands of its kids are some of the wealthiest, most generous people in the world. I mean, what a great legacy for us to leave behind.
