Radio News from the newsroom of THE BATTALION campus and community news 1:57 p.m. Monday through Friday on KAMU-FM 90.9 College Station / Bryan Wednesday, January 22, 2003 THE BATTALION Student volunteers start charity By Martha Irvine THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Already part of a generation known for its commitment to volunteerism, a growing num ber of young people are not only helping good causes but starting their own charities, say adults who track philanthropy. For Dan and Betsy Nally, it’s about turkey. The siblings from suburban Boston, now ages 15 and 12, collected 36 birds from neighbors back in 1996, after hearing that the local food bank was running short at Thanksgiving. Last year, their steadily expanding group — Turkeys R Us — collected 86,000 pounds of turkey. That’s enough to feed more than 150,000 people. A senior at Davidson College in North Carolina, Nicholas Mantini, is helping young Nicaraguans escape poverty with education and job training. And 22-year-old Dana Hork is using pocket change to make a difference. Three years ago, she founded an organization called Change for Change while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Now with chapters on two col lege campuses, the organization asks students to donate their spare change for worthy causes. In three years, students have given about $40,000 — $25,000 of which went to the Red Cross after the Sept. 1 1 terrorist attacks. The Higher Education Research Institute found that, in 2001, nearly 83 percent of incoming college freshman said they had volunteered, up from about two-thirds in 1989. Some are motivated by tragedy in their own lives. After Taylor Sevin’s father died of a rare form of cancer in 1999, she told her mom she wanted to help find a cure for the disease. So she started writ ing letters to family friends, asking for donations. Now each year on her father’s birthday, Feb. 10, she delivers her dona tion to researchers at Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown University in Washington. So far, the 11-year-old, who lives in a Washington suburb, has raised more than $26,000. :s Magazine now # Ives, flexible hours, nee, 512-450-1114 Diner hiring cooks s'! shifts, apply in peitfj ive. iach Club is looking! 5 spring break fliers.! ash!
