🌟 Introducing our January Rotary Club Student of the Month, Abigale Bilotta!
Abby's resilience and compassion shine through her remarkable initiatives, including the ChrisSanthemum Project benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and her work with the Peyton Heart Project for suicide and mental health awareness.
Motivated by personal loss, Abby wanted to turn her grief into something that would make a difference. Abigale started planning the ChrisSanthemum project at 12 years old, hosted the first event at 13 years old, and raised almost $50,000 since its inception. Her leadership extends to various other roles, including fundraising chairperson for the Peyton Heart Project and a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's leadership team member.
Abby's aspirations reflect her creativity and ambition - she plans to attend the Douglas Education Center and participate in the Tom Savini's Special Makeup Effects Program after graduation. Congratulations, Abby, on this well-deserved honor! 🌟👏
