2013 State Honoree Cayman Jarvis

Well my project started about 8 years ago. I was a fourth-grader. I wanted to do a basketball tournament at the beginning of the summer. For me and my friends kind'a to get together and I was a sure really what I wanted to donate to but I have them all bring $5 to participate. After that first tournament we were sitting on about $1,500 and I went to go visit my friend Tyler Genneken in the hospital. When I went to visit him I noticed a lot of broken toys, and a lot of missing game board pieces and I set out my goal to fix all all the toys in the Riley Hospital and I donate to the Cheer Guild. So they have to supply about 14,000 toys a month to all of the inpatients and outpatients though Riley. So to be able to see the impact it has on them for them getting a toy after a surgery is just remarkable. Honestly it's just if you have a giving heart you need to give as much as possible. The thing that's made me give more and more every year and just want to put more time into is the face. Like I love giving to where the point it making other people happy makes me happy. So that's kinda what my thing is, so if I can make as many people's happy as possible.
