Cady Mariano, President of the San Diego United Leo Club, awarded Outstanding Student Volunteer by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP)
17-year-old Cady Mariano has made serving others an integral part of her life since age nine when she began performing for Lions Club fundraisers. For the past seven years, she has led more than 30 young students in an average of 25 projects a year as the charter president of the San Diego United Leo Club, the youth division of Lions Club International.
More recently, Cady spearheaded fundraising efforts and led the Leo Club to work with multiple local charities to help pack and donate more than 40,000 N95 respirator masks, Surgical masks, infrared non-contact forehead thermometers and other items for 50 hospitals/clinics in 10 states including California, New York, and New Jersey to battle COVID-19.
This donation included 200 N95 respirator masks, and 24 infrared non-contact forehead thermometers to Neighborhood Healthcare facilities in San Diego and Riverside Counties. Her efforts garnered well-deserved media in several outlets, including the San Diego Union-Tribune. Cady’s positive, enthusiastic attitude inspires other young people to get involved and recognize that they can do anything they want. She most certainly is one of the most transformative change agents of her time.
Congratulations Cady – we are so proud of you!
