First Place

Angel of Hope Memorial:

Alex Babcock, age 7, Clarksburg, Massachusetts

Alex was watching TV one day when he saw a friend, a retired teacher named Donna Morgan, talking about the memorial statue she wanted to build in honor of her daughter Diana, who died at age 19 of bacterial meningitis. "We have to get Mrs. Morgan that statue," Alex told his parents. To raise money, the Babcocks baked homemade muffins, and Alex helped paint a sign heralding "Alex's Angel Muffins" for sale at a farmers market. Through the sale of muffins and coffee, as well as additional donations, the Babcocks raised $400 that day. They have since raised more money for the "Angel of Hope" statue, a bronze angel inspired by the book The Christmas Box. This past August, Angel of Hope Children's Memorial Park was dedicated in North Adams, Massachusetts, on land donated by the city. Once fund-raising is complete, the statue honoring Diana Morgan will be erected.
