Change Makers Junior Board Recognized as Winners of the 2025 Youth in Philanthropy

We are so proud to celebrate our Change Makers Junior Board for being recognized as the winners of the 2025 Youth in Philanthropy Award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals, West Florida Chapter.

To be honored in only their second year speaks to who they are at their core. These students are leaders. They are stewards. They are young people who show up with open hearts and a willingness to serve

Our Change Makers come from high schools across Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, yet they move as one united team with a shared purpose to make life brighter for the patients and families of Ascension Sacred Heart and Studer Family Children's Hospital. Their dedication, their compassion, and the way they lead through their actions has created real change in our community.

We could not be more grateful for their hard work or more inspired by their spirit. This recognition is so well deserved, and we are honored to walk beside them as they continue to grow, learn, and lift others along the way.

Congratulations to our incredible Change Makers. You make our community stronger, kinder, and filled with hope.
