I am deeply honored to have received the George H.W. Bush Daily Point of Light Award in August 2024 as a junior in high school for my work with my nonprofit, Art for a Cause. At Art for a Cause, we harness the power of artistic expression to foster empathy and understanding around disabilities, striving to bridge gaps and build inclusive communities. This prestigious award, established by President George H.W. Bush in 1989, recognizes individuals who make a profound impact through volunteer service. It celebrates those who show extraordinary dedication to community service and work selflessly to improve the lives of others. Recipients of this award come from diverse backgrounds and fields, all united by their commitment to making a positive difference.
