nolimitseasternshore

This week we distributed the 2017 Kathleen W. Richardson Citizenship Awards to a wonderful group of young people here on the Eastern Shore! Known as the Kate Awards, these awards are given to high school students living on the Eastern Shore to honor community engagement and volunteerism (aka “great kids”!!) in memory of Kate, a founding No Limits member who was an active volunteer herself.

The 2017 Kate Award Board – thank you to Denise Brown for putting this board together!

 

Taylee Thomas, First Place Winner for 2017, is a 9th grader at Chincoteague High School.
Taylee is involved in numerous community activities. She is active in her church youth group, helps to feed the hungry, volunteers at community banquets and Vacation Bible School and other events. She was the top youth fundraiser at the Chincoteague Walk for Life and the 30 Hour Famine. Taylee has helped raise money for breast cancer awareness with her volleyball team, participates annually in Operation Christmas Child, and organized a local “Prayer around the Pole” event at which she was the main speaker.
