AVA
ATTINA—2024
Meet your neighbor Ava. Ava embodies social goodness through her altruistic spirit and commitment to supporting her neighbors. Her volunteer work at a children's library and tutoring peers highlights her passion for helping others succeed. However, it was Ava’s ability to transform tragedy into inspiration that captivated our attention. From a young age, she aspired to provide support to children facing challenges and foster empathy and understanding as her journey began with the loss of a cousin at just 18 years old. Despite grappling with grief, Ava and her family found solace in giving back, establishing a memorial scholarship in her cousin's name, and volunteering for fundraisers to aid families in crisis. Through her own struggles, Ava learned the importance of seeking help and sharing her experiences, ultimately inspiring her pursuit of a career in therapy. With resilience, empathy, and dedication, Ava embodies social goodness in her meaningful connections with others.
CHARLOTTE MARCHIOLI—2024
Meet your neighbor Charlotte. Charlotte—a thespian, musician, writer, activist, devoted friend, and neighbor. Her talents are matched only by her innate social goodness which is integral to Charlotte’s being, the part of her that warms our hearts. At just 11, she penned a letter to a grieving neighbor following his wife's passing. While a response was never received, the satisfaction of knowing it was there for him; that she had reached out in those dark times was enough, revealing Charlotte’s deep emotional intelligence and kindness. Throughout her high school years, Charlotte's dedication to social goodness continues to shine. From supporting her fellow actors to advocating for inclusivity, she consistently uses her talents to uplift others and promote positive change. Her efforts extended beyond the stage, organizing fundraisers and events to support the causes she believes in.

Meet your neighbor Sophia. Sophia's impact goes beyond her impressive resume of achievements.

Additionally, her academic excellence, recognized as one of North Shore’s highest-achieving students, is commendable. However, it was Sophia’s compassionate gesture towards a nervous teammate that truly touched us. When a teammate qualified for States, Sophia traveled hours upstate to support her, showcasing her selflessness and dedication to uplifting others. This act exemplifies Sophia's commitment to social goodness, demonstrating the depth of her character and the kindness of her heart.

NORTH SHORE HIGH SCHOOL—2023
Meet your neighbors, North Shore High School's Life Skills Class. With Sea Cliff School’s K-2 ILC Class, they’ve developed Garden Buddies, an integrated collaboration between the high school students who tend to SCS’ garden during the summer and visit during the school year to teach their younger peers how to plant, harvest, weed, and water. As the submission noted, “The High School students are amazing teachers and role models for their younger peers! They show concern, model patience, and teach safety. Our Elementary students listen intently and follow directions from their older peers. In addition, both classes participate in harvesting food for a delicious garden tasting each week during Sea Cliff students' lunchtime.” The $500 scholarship will go towards the purchasing of items that make gardening easier for students with sensory issues and who face physical challenges when using mainstream products.

IAN STRONG—2023
Meet your neighbor Ian, a North Shore Middle School 6th-grade graduate, who was awarded the All You Need is Love Community Scholarship for $500 for his proposal for a Pride Garden outside the office of 268 Sea Cliff Avenue! Filling the garden with a rainbow of flowers including petunias, geraniums, and zinnias, Ian would build a Take Some Pride, Leave Some Pride mailbox, a place for community members to share positive messages with others.
“Being awarded the All You Need is Love scholarship has given me the opportunity to help spread love and kindness in the community. As someone who is gay, I know that I am very lucky to have family and friends who support me, but I know that there are some who are not as fortunate as me. I am hopeful that the pride garden and mailbox will provide those who need it in the community a feeling of safety, a feeling of being loved, a feeling that they are not alone, a feeling to not give up. Pride doesn't end in June; we have to celebrate and be proud of who we are all year long!” shared Ian.
Susan, Ian’s mother, continued, “From the moment Ian heard about the scholarship opportunity, he jumped into action, planning ideas on how to shine more love, through pride, into the community. Watching his commitment into discovering ways to let others know they are loved, welcomed, seen, all while expressing his own pride has been beautiful. We are beyond proud of his dedication to this project but also to his commitment to being his true self. Ian, being granted this opportunity while on his journey of self-exploration, has been incredibly validating and empowering. We are forever grateful to LYNP!”
