First Place
Berkeley Food and Housing Project:
Casey Lane, age 6, Piedmont, California
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society holds a special place in the Lane family because Casey's father suffers from MS. To raise money for the society, Casey created Kibbles, Crumbs & Kindness, a bake sale offering items for dogs and humans alike; she even drew up a special logo for posters and flyers for the event. Casey's other favorite charity is the Berkeley Food & Housing Project. For her sixth birthday, Casey asked for gifts for kids at the shelter rather than herself. She put together goody bags with stuffed animals and treats. Around the holidays, Casey and her mother also visited the shelter and led kids in a crafts project making Christmas tree ornaments out of pipe cleaners.
