Do the Right Thing!
Sarah is an energetic,
enthusiastic and upbeat young lady that is very involved in her school
and community. For the past four years Sarah’s cancer has been in
remission and during these four years she has spent countless hours
helping raise funds for the American Cancer Society. Sarah spoke to the
students at Weddington Elementary School about her cancer and motivated
the students to raise $5,000.00 to help with cancer research so other
children might not have to go through what she has suffered. Sarah is an
outstanding role model for young people because she shows great strength
of character in the face of adversity. |

We want to reinforce socially desirable behavior among our youth. We want to demonstrate that "good kids" are newsworthy kids. We will strive to foster positive relationships between police officers, firefighters, and the young people of Mecklenburg county. We will work to enhance community relations between fire and police departments, schools and local businesses. |

Four times a year, children from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area, on the basis of their exemplary behavior and attitude, are nominated by firefighters, police officers, teachers, and the public. Each quarter, ten nominees are chosen to receive a Do the Right Thing award. In order to reach as many children as possible, all nominees receive a Certificate of Recognition, a Do the Right Thing t-shirt, and a bumper sticker. The ten winners also receive a plaque, an incentive prize package, and an invitation to a special ceremony. The winners are also recognized on our website, CMS Cable Channel 21, and recognition is sent to The Charlotte Observer and area media outlets. |
