Awards

How would you define philanthropy? My suggestion would be supporting others by donating to good causes. Now think how you would pitch that concept to a teenager or young adult?

It's that awards time of year again. Well, the awards will be presented at the National Convention on 2 July, but meanwhile, here are the shortlisted entries.
