“I found my passion and it’s to help individuals with special needs and this is just super awesome because now I know what to do with the rest of my life and I know that I can devote the rest of my life in service to this population,” Kaleb Cook said.
He is among 15 young humanitarians chosen for the honor by corporate sponsor U-S Cellular. The company contributed $1,000 to Kaleb’s Dancing Away the Stigma organization to benefit Camp Courageous.
The Future of Good includes a mobile giving campaign. People can text the word “courage” to 2-0-2-2-2. Each text translates to a 10 dollar donation to Camp Courageous.
