Accomplishment: Natural giver

Key to Awesomeness:  Big sis Courtney is proud of her little sister: “Katie surprises everyone in the family every day. From making bracelets to support cancer, to raising money by selling lemonade in the front yard to help the animals over at the MSPCA to helping out at the Barnstable Best Buddies Special Olympics. She loves to give back, and she's only 11. It makes you wonder, if an 11 year old can do it...why don't we see more adults doing it? Katie also was caught doing two acts of kindness at her school, which landed her a spot in Barnstable's upcoming video (only one kid from each grade was chosen)."
