Third
Grader Raises Over $1900 for Leatherback Turtle Conservation
Baltimore, Maryland
November 2005
Meghan Taschenberger, a third-grader at Crofton Elementary School,
was honored for her efforts at a Baltimore luncheon organized by
the Maryland chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals
for her efforts in raising almost $2000 to save leatherback turtles.
Meghan held a fund raiser on Earth Day, gave lectures, and
undertook other activities to save her favorite animal. Not
quite 8, Meghan has already contributed a huge effort to save
the leatherback turtle and is a model for all of us, both
students and adults.
