Allow me to introduce you to one of my new heroes, 7-year-old Alexander Kuebler.

Alexander decided he wanted to step up to the plate and help collect money to help out the tornado victims in Oklahoma through our Pennies From Heaven fund. He camped outside the 7-11 in Blasdell during Memorial Day weekend...

...And he managed to collect $226.91 on his own.! Little man, I'm giving you a virtual high-five right now. I'm so very, very proud of you!!!!

Kids are almost always the first ones who want to help...and what great lessons in charity!

There's still time before the end of the month (when we hope to make the GIANT check donation!) for you to set up your own collection point at school, work, camp...wherever...or make a donation at any WNY KeyBank branch!

If your child is holding his/her own collection, please send pics so I can post about them too!
