On Wednesday, Natiotnal Philanthropy Day, one of my past Go Green subjects received an award from the local chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Here is what I saw on WREX’s site:

Outstanding Young Fundraising Volunteer - Stephanie Baliga

After her freshman year at the University of Illinois, Champaign, Stephanie embraced a meaningful, unpaid internship to raise money for Severson Dells while furthering their mission to connect more people to nature. She founded The Hall Creek Scamper, the “green” run/walk that raised $15,400 through her 400 hours of volunteer work over two summers. Her fundraising efforts resulted in increased program dollars and a raised public profile for Severson Dells.

Congrats, Stephanie!
