Triston Cacal: Since 2011, when Triston created G's Choo Choo, he has collected donations for Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital. Triston has shown care and commitment and is devoted to the idea of giving back. He realized one day at the age of 5 that his little brother, Grayson, was not the only kid fighting cancer and may not be home for Christmas.

"Luke always volunteers to help Notre Dame Enrollment. Luke gave a personal tour after school, then immediately went to a recruitment fair at his alma mater St. Paul of the Cross on the same night to help recruitment. The family he toured at ND was also at the SPC event and they were so impressed a Senior would give his time like that."
