These kids are learning about philanthropy at a young age. If they can make this big of an impact now, just think of what they will do as they become adults. They are giving of their time, talent and treasure. In a time where teenage kids often find themselves in trouble, isn’t it refreshing to see these kids doing great things for our community? For Good, For Ever!
