Winter 2010 Accent on Philanthropy

December 22nd, 2009

Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy, Rachel Friedman

In 2006, at the age of 9, Rachel Friedman established Perform For A Cure, an all-youth variety show, to raise money for cancer research and programs. In just four years, this event has raised over $30,000 and inspired hundreds of youth and adults to become more involved as well as to make positive and lasting changes in their communities. Her determined and unwavering effort has given hope to countless people dealing with cancer in Maine. Rachel Friedman received the 2009 AFP-NNE/Demont Youth in Philanthropy Award at the National Philanthropy Day Awards in early November, sponsored by Demont Associates.
