EXAMPLE Philanthropy Favorites Photographer-writer Jennifer McNelly hit the streets to find out which charities you love best. Here’s what you said. “I would say my favorite charity is probably St. Jude. I had a friend who had a little boy with brain cancer. It’s just really nice to have an organization that helps families going through situations like that who don’t charge them for hospitals and all the stuff it takes to try to make their kids better.” DJ PRESSLEY Louisville “I really like Junior Achievement. I’ve been involved with them for years and even served on their board. I appreciate the focus on teaching youth ‘real world stuff’ like math and finances. It’s important because they learn a lot of useful skills they will use when they are adults.” ED FAULSTICK New Albany “My favorite charity is Catholic Charities because they donate and support numerous causes.” CALEB CADLE Pekin “The Center for Women and Families is a great organization. I just know they are very supportive and kind in what they do. I think it’s really cool how they help women from one situation and bring them into a better one.” ARYAHNA TOLMAN-DEWITT New Albany 16 EXTOL : APRIL/MAY 2019
