Key to Awesomeness: Samantha Reese enjoys volunteering in the community… so much so that she has been a member of NIFTY for 8 years. Helping out with such events as the Haunted Halloween Walk, the Big Pig Gig, and the Safety Fair, among others, Samantha finds that helping others makes her feel good. 

“It makes me feel like a better person as a whole, because then I’m not out there getting into trouble like a lot of kids are nowadays,” said Samantha.
