a COOL 9-year-old

Camryn Chaffee, 9, is a little girl with a really big and cool heart. She hit the ground running in Cranberry, PA and placed jars in area businesses asking for donations for MS (Multiple Sclerosis). Her father drove her around and dropped her off in front of a variety of stores, she entered herself and asked to speak to the manager to get permission to leave her jars.

She also visited neighbors to ask for donations while the jars sat in the businesses for five weeks, in all, she was able to raise $600 for MS. She even took the time to thank the participating businesses by making up specific cards for them, as an example she made a hot dog card for Johnny's Hot Dogs.

Camryn says she was inspired by a neighbor and a co-worker of her father who both suffer from MS. She also plans on making her fundrasier an annual event, "It was fun to do and it will help people with MS."

Here's to you Camryn, may your heart forever stay big-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!

What do you think of Camryn's efforts to raise money for MS? Who's the youngest fundraiser you know? How old are they and what cause did they raise money for?
