Each year CSC chooses several children in the Central MA area to receive this award. They are chosen because of their involvement in the community and their desire to help others. This year’s recipients are Rachel Ansah, Tiana Felix, Grant Hauver, Shalitmar Perez and Luis Portillo. Honorable mentions include Ava D’Eon, Chloe D’Eon, Lauren Fleury, Olivia Gallo, Devin Grimley, Rachel Hinckley, Mia Losey and Katerina Zahariadis. Children’s Smile Coalition, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, staffed by volunteers, that serves underprivileged children in Central Ma and also encourages children to give back to their community.
Children’s Smile Coalition’s activities include:
- Providing Christmas gifts each year for over 100 underprivileged teenagers in the Worcester area, through our Santa’s Big League program.
- Placing over 1,000 new and used books were put in the homes of underprivileged children through our annual Book ’em Danno book drive.
- Our Guardian Angel program, which matches anonymous donors with children for a year-long commitment. The children are referred to us by the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester based on need. The “angel” sends cards and small gifts to let the child know that there are wonderful people out in the world who care about them. The angels are truly making an impact in these children’s lives!
Tickets for this event are $50 and can be purchased at the door or by going online ,all proceeds benefit Children’s Smile Coalition, Inc. To see pictures of last year’s event, click here.
