Ripple Effect formed and continues to grow by chance. One of us just happened to be a summer intern at the firm that heard one of the first "big idea" pitches Beverly gave. The initial excitement was felt in this meeting, but was cast aside when considering a return to Kansas State for school. However, one thing lead to another and a scholarship would lead to finishing school in Kansas City. Project Change wasn't the reason for the move but it reappeared though a random email soon after the news. The nerve to call pressed, and Beverly encouraged a team to emerge. This one person now had a team. Scratch that. This one person now had some projects to accomplish. It wasn't until later that night that a fiance was on board. The first year was a success and the two grew throughout the process. Now it is year two, and other players have emerged. Another one of us heard about Project Change at work. They found themselves interested and looked up the team that was recruiting them on the website. One click lead to seeing two familiar faces from college. It seemed meant to be and now the team has grown to four strong.
