Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has received $25-million from Joseph H. Moss, a retired Delta pilot, to support its pediatric-transplant program, the group has announced in a press release on its Web site.

Mr. Moss, who lives in Austin, Tex., and New York, was inspired to give after reading an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about a 13-year-old boy, Edgar, who needed a new kidney. Mr. Moss donated money to the boy’s family for his medical care.
