Jake Burkons Giving Back

At this stage in my life, I am thinking about what I can do to give back to my community and to help make our world a better place. 

 

When I was young, I got involved in some causes. 

 

For my Bar Mitzvah I raised money for the 4 Mom Foundation that raises money to support caregivers for people with Alzheimer’s disease. 

 

As a teen, I volunteered with Friendship Circle of Cleveland spending time with kids with special needs. 

 

In my junior year, I was named, along with many of my peers, an Outstanding Teen Friend Maker. 

 

As I start college, I’m looking forward to finding new ways to give back and contribute.
