  8. Relay For Life

  9. Relay for life • I have attended both the Valdosta State University and Donalsonville, Georgia Relay For Life Event. At Donalsonville’s Event, I lead the survivors walk. At both events, I bought food and drinks and played games to give money to the American Cancer Society. I love knowing that even my few dollars are going to something as great as cancer research and is giving somebody hope.

  10. Clothes Drive • I donated clothes to a local clothes drive through the Valdosta State University BCM. Donating clothes made me feel as if I could really help people by giving clothes to a family that cannot afford to buy them.
