The Pinnacle

The Pinnacle: "Hollister girl has a history of giving

When Aviana 'Avi' Guaracha received the 2006 Philanthropist Award from the Community Foundation for San Benito County, it was no surprise to people who know her. The 11-year-old Hollister girl has been involved with fund-raising since she was just 3.

The 5th grader doesn't look like your typical philanthropist. Dressed in sneakers, jeans and a hoodie, Guaracha looks like any other 'tween. She has a bright, toothy smile and a head full of dark curls. She was soft-spoken the day she met with the newspaper and let her mother do some of the boasting for her, but above all she was confident."
