Finn may be just 9 years old, but he has a heart of gold when it comes to giving. When he was just 5 years old, he learned about a child in his neighborhood with cancer and he wondered what he, as a kid himself, could do to help. Thus began his over 2-year commitment to grow out his hair to donate to Wigs for Kids, not once but twice, donating over 14 inches each time!

Shortly after that initial hair donation, Finn saw some other kids in his neighborhood with a lemonade stand hoping to make some spending money for themselves and he thought, that’s nice, but I can do better than that! He decided he could hold a neighborhood bake sale and donate any money he made to a charity of his choice.

He had started cooking early in life; helping his mom make his first loaf of bread when he only 18 months old. On his 4^th birthday he was then gifted a monthly children’s cooking box subscription, Raddish Kids, and he was hooked!

That love of cooking, plus a Cub Scout’s dedication to community service, not to mention his neighbors’ generosity, has enabled him to hold a number of bake sales and donate to several different charities, among them MEOW Cat Rescue and Canopy Cat Rescue (both benefitting his favorite animal: cats), and more!
