"We
are pleased to announce that Sydney Pepin of Alfred, ME, is one of two
Maine students named as Distinguished Finalists in the 2013 Prudential
Spirit of Community Awards, sponsored by Prudential Financial in
partnership with the National Association of Secondary School
Principals. As a result, she will be receiving an engraved bronze
medallion at a future ceremony and has already received a certificate
for the President's Volunteer Service Award. Sydney raised more than
$3,400 with sponsorships to create and distribute more than 250 "cancer
support bags" filled with tissues, snacks, paper, pens, etc. Sydney
created her project such that first-time chemotherapy and radiation
therapy patients could feel support during their days of treatment.
Congratulations, Sydney...and thank you for volunteering." |
