YOUNG PHILANTHROPIST DONATES TO PEDIATRIC DEPARTMENT Inspired by the charitable giving she was observing around her, 8-year-old Addy Franklin decided to take action. The pandemic wouldn’t allow a traditional lemonade stand, so Addy built upon the slime kits she received for Christmas. From scratch in her kitchen, she made slime in a rainbow of colors and sold it at a street stand in her Redondo Beach neighborhood. Adding the proceeds from also selling her prized dollhouse, Addy donated $100 to the pediatrics unit at Torrance Memorial. Later, Addy also donated another $130 earned from slime sales at her school student marketplace event.
