Today’s PoP Stars come to us from Arizona! Amber & Thania recently contacted us discussing their efforts to spread awareness about the PoP movement, which we were very impressed by! Check out Amber’s email below!

This week’s PoP Star is Daniel Ackermans! The generosity he showed by donating a portion of his Bar Mitzvah to Pencils of Promise is a reminder of how easy it is to support a great cause. Daniel’s act of generosity will help educate 30 children over the next year!! Check out what he had to say below..

This past summer brought many talented and passionate interns to PoP, Victoria Li being one of them!!  Check out her story below!

This weeks PoPStar is Shelby Chambers!! We first heard from Shelby on September 14th, when she was aspiring to help PoP for a school project. Shortly after contacting our Community Engagement team, Shelby successfully set up her own fund raising event! Check out her e-mails below to see how she went about becoming a PoPStar!

This week’s PoPStar, Katrina, proves that there is no limit to what’s possible when you’re passionate and dedicated to a cause. Read about her experience below!!

This week our PoPStar is a perfect example of how ONE person with a little passion and ambition can contribute to a great cause! Tessa Young, of Charlotte, North Carolina, took her love for the PoP mission, combined it with her entrepreneurial spirit, and organized a fantastic little fund raiser to help raise money and awareness for the PoP movement. We were very impressed with her efforts and think she’s a great example of what it takes to be a PoPStar! Read below for more details on exactly how Tessa went about supporting PoP!

Last week, the PoP team had the privilege of meeting some very passionate supporters through our Tinychat session. One in particular left us very impressed! Lauren Ide, and her friend Amanda, have found a unique and fascinating way to support the PoP movement: designing and selling home-made bracelets, by using nothing more than recycled can tabs, ribbon, and a little love! While still young, Lauren and Amanda show that passion and dedication have no age requirements.

It’s time once again for our weekly PoP Star! Parker Burris, a 17 year old artist from Dallas, Texas, sent us the email below and we were instantly moved by his passion as well as his incredible talent. Parker has a genuine understanding of PoP’s mission and found a great way to combine his artistic and creative ability to support the PoP movement, which is amazing!
