Yay! Thank you! I am a recipient of the ABC Summer of Service Award! First of all that’s just really cool and second it comes with a $1,000 award which I will be able to put into my foundation. That is VERY nice and I know it will come in handy as we near the holidays and the winter months.

There were other young people, young leaders who won this award, too. And I would like to say congratulations to all of them. We really do have some amazing people in our world. We all need to get together to spread this good news and to share our ideas on how we can keep helping the world around us.

Thank you so much!

The Summer of Service Awards is a project of Disney ABC Television Group, in collaboration with Disney Friends for Change, an initiative that inspires kids and their families to make a lasting, positive change by helping people, communities, and the planet.
