“Abigail’s mentor in the program is a senior, so I think it is a great way for the girls in this school to get to know each other better,” McGroarty told LocalSource. “This is a part of the community outreach work that girls at Oak Knoll have done for years. We have had prior students work with LLS, so moving forward next year, Abigail will be able to mentor someone else in the program and support fundraising efforts.”

McGroarty said students find these organizations to work with and engage in their communities.

“I love that this work is student driven. Many students reach out to these organizations and pitch these campaigns,” McGroarty said. “They are so passionate about their work. It is very exciting and amazing to see. None of this is required. It is all very organic and it comes from within.”

Han’s mother, Danielle Han, had nothing but praise for her daughter’s campaign.

“I love that Abigail is excited about this,” Danielle Han told LocalSource. “She has the help of her softball team and family.

“The fact that service is built into this is great. It’s important to remember where you came from.”
