York Dispatch editorial board
Thumbs up to Jameson Shanabrough, who has proven yet again that one doesn’t need a huge bank account or even a driver’s license to become a philanthropic force for good in their community.
The Spring Garden Township boy is using his 11th birthday to once again organize a toy drive with impressive results. More than 4,000 donations have poured in; a veritable avalanche of local goodwill in the form of not only toys, but books, art supplies and other gifts.
Jameson may be a young kid but he’s an old hand at organizing charitable drives. He’s also an example of finding the good even in a difficult situation.
At 10, York Country Day student an old hand at organizing charity drives
York Country Day student Jameson Shanabrough had an unusual request a few years back for his birthday:
Instead of gifts for himself, he wanted to help others in the community through charity drives.
For his 11th birthday in August, Jameson wants his latest drive to be bigger and better than ever. And he s looking for help from the community.
This year s toy drive will benefit children at Philadelphia s St. Christopher s Hospital for Children. It s running until July 30, and Jameson wants to outdo the 1,600 items he collected last year for Johns Hopkins Children s Center in Baltimore.
