Outside of school Ben has been involved in his community in various ways. He has volunteered at Bren’t Place in Denver which is a safe and clean housing facility for children with cancer to recover. He has also worked at the Marion House in Colorado Springs, which is a soup kitchen providing meals 365 days per year and at Tri-Lakes Cares, a community based, volunteer supported resource center whose purpose is to improve people’s lives through emergency, self-sufficiency and relief programs.

Ben is an amazing young man who is very deserving of this award and I can’t say enough about him.
