November 2012 Hot Button Winners
Congrats to our
November 2012 Hot Button of the Month Winner!
November's Hot Button of the Month Contest Winner is...Laurel Van Leer from Girl Scouts of East Brunswick, NJ.. Laurel's "I survived Hurricane Sandy 2012" was a hands-on activity for local Girl Scouts to help with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. They made the buttons and gave them away to victims and sold them to raise funds for relief.
"The funds raised will be donated to our local Girl Scout camp which was damaged in the storm, largely by downed trees that deforested some of the hiking areas and crashed onto buildings in two of the camping site," Laurel said.
"We raised about $200," Laurel said. "But the money was not the primary goal. The Girl Scouts - all ages K-12 - felt empowered by being able to do something to help."
As the Hot Button of the Month winner, Laurel received a $100 Badge-A-Minit gift certificate.
