Our Team

Leader

Hi! My name is Grace Wrzesinski, and I am currently a junior at John Glenn High School. I love working with kids and helping others, and I have always wanted to start doing something like this. I have a personal connection to the foster care system, and knew that helping those kids was important to me. I started this in 8th grade, and was so excited to see my project grow so quickly right in front of my eyes.

Hello! My name is Lauren Gallagher, and I am currently a senior at John Glenn High School. I have always loved being involved with my community, and helping kids in foster care is important to me. Once I was asked to be involved with this awesome project, I knew right away that I would love to help grow this idea.

Thespian Troupe 7586

This group of high schoolers from varying grades stepped up to raise funds to buy more supplies for the project. Foster children are an important part of this troupe's focus, and they even placed with their 1Act play themed around foster care, ReMoved, at state championships last year!

Shining Star Dance Academy

SSDA's competitive and recreational dance teams have all contributed to the project since its beginning, from fundraising to putting together the Empower Packs. Their help and dedication to foster children has made a huge impact in the project's success.
