AFP-NNE and Demont Present $10,000 Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy Scholarship Award.
Demont Associates would like to congratulate Rachel Blair Friedman, inaugural recipient of the AFP NNE–Demont Youth in Philanthropy Award, which provides a $10,000 college scholarship.
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.
Wanting to make an even greater impact, Rachel plans to develop the reach of Perform For A Cure. In Maine, the show has been expanded to two days to accommodate the growing audience and performers. She is planning to export Perform For A Cure to other states and is confident that ith this prototype, many other youths can use their passions and talents in the arts to raise money and give back to their communities.
