Members of the oversight Committee include Greg Fowler, Sue Horne, Mike Bratton, Dan Prout, and police Chaplains Sam Barger and Toby Nelson.. Barger says they are right now in the fundraising stage.
Barger says 100 percent of all donations will go directly to verified victims, as determined by the Oversight Committee.
