Whiz Kid of the Week: Carli Shapiro

Carli Shapiro, 13

Maple Dale School

Accomplishment: Carli started the first ever JCC endowment fund created by a kid.

Key to Awesomeness: Carli believes that all kids should be able to have a wonderful summer camp experience. So, she created a line of camp stationary which features her own drawings. There are three different designs including a camp fire, camp signs, and a sports theme.

She is doing all of this to start the first ever JCC endowment fund created by a kid, to help kids. Her goal is to reach at least $2,500. She is almost there because she raised over $1,600 at her garage sale this fall.

Receive one package of Carli’s camp stationary with each $10 donation! Donate and select your favorite design by contacting Carli via email at Carlisbatmitzvah@gmail.com or by telephone at (414)351-1555. Cash or checks are accepted payable to the Kids 4 Kids Camp Fund.

(If you don’t live in the Milwaukee area, Carli will be glad to ship it, but shipping is extra.)
