Becky Cross
Founder and Chairman
Contact information: bcross@ignitefoundation.orgMs. Cross started the development work for the
IGNITE Foundation in 2001 while working on her children’s book,
I Am A Space Shuttle. I LOVE TO FLY! Her interest in education was spiked while traveling with her own small
children to the Kennedy Space Center and she hoped to help
bring interested groups together to help enrich our education system.
She designed the IGNITE Foundation with that goal in mind.
