Fall 2025 was a phenomenal year and a very special milestone in my journey with Be An Elf! – Helping Hungry Kids. In my 8th year of fundraising, I turned 16 and started high school, while continuing my commitment to helping children and families in need.

This year, we reached our highest fundraising total ever—$4,500 in 2025, bringing our overall fundraising to nearly $28,000!

But the biggest highlight was seeing my friends and family come together to make a difference. Volunteers ranging in age from 8 to 80 years old joined me to pack meal boxes and sanitary kits. It was amazing to see so many generations working side by side for a common cause.

I am incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered, packed boxes, and supported me throughout this journey. Year 8 was truly unforgettable—and I couldn’t have done it without you!
