A Positive Impact

Realizing we needed a little positivity in our lives, we dedicated Episode 111 to POSITIVE NEWS! Throughout the episode, we highlight celebrities, kids, and friends who are impacting not just their local communities but the world! 

Here are a few that made our list: 

• Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson made kids' dreams come true through the Make a Wish Foundation!
• One of our favorite Local Girl Scouts, Brooke, built birdhouses for Detweiler Park in Dauphin, PA! 
• Chelsy-Sippora Funebe, Ethan Cordova, Maggie Scicchitano, and Clara Baker represented Penn State Harrisburg in Penn State's annual dance marathon, THON! These students danced for 46 hours to raise money for pediatric cancer (spoiler alert - this year's event raised over $13 million)!
• Christine Drexler created and continues to expand Cocoa Packs - a non-profit in Hershey, PA, that is committed to food security for children. They focus on providing nourishing meals and snacks for those days when children are not in school (and don't have access to subsidized meals). 
• 
  Dr. Megan Peterson directs a performance of Tales From Down There: Narratives Inspired by the Vagina Monologues each year at The Black Gryphon. Over the past thirteen years, she has raised over $30,000 for Milagro House, a residential program for mothers facing homelessness.
