Sarah Rose Varadian
Following the events of Sept. 11, 2001, President Bush asked every child in the United States to send $1 to the Fund for Afghan Children. Sarah Rose Varadian, who was 13 at the time, turned to her parents and said, “A dollar is not enough from a teenager.” She promptly put together a children’s fair in her front yard, and with the help of her friends raised more than $800 for the fund."
