CANTON A Canton teen wins one of the Northern New York Community Foundation Award and names Help Sami Kick Cancer as beneficiary.
Vivian Coburn, an eighth grader at Canton Central School, has been selected as a winner in the fourth annual Community Spirit Youth Giving Challenge.
This program, sponsored by Northern New York Community Foundation donors, with additional support of Community Bank, N.A. and an anonymous generous donor, asked 7th and 8th grade students in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties to consider what community means to them and suggest a nonprofit organization that they felt would best support their vision for a better community.
Last fall, the Northern New York Community Foundation continued a wonderful program to encourage young people to become more engaged in the neighborhoods in which they live.
