Calista Pierce - Calista Cares! 

About Calista Pierce:

My project is fundraising for Crawford County Special Olympics. I fundraiser for Special Olympics because my brother is a Special Olympics athlete. He is my inspiration because he loves to do the competitions. I overheard the Special Olympics management team talking and they said they weren't raising enough money to go to all of the competitions. So, I started Calista Cares. I love to see my brother and all of the athletes happy knowing they can do the trainings and go to competitions. I hope you can support my family and me to go on this trip. Without you, I wouldn't be able to go. I would love to go because it would be nice to sell my crafts somewhere I have never been before. I also think Special Olympics  will be extremely proud. If you would be able to help me, it would be so great. I also really want to go because I want to make new friends who are also doing community service projects. Some people don't understand why I do my project. It would be fun to meet others who understand and feel the same way. I think it would also be really fantastic to get the word out about Calista Cares and also getting the word out about Special Olympics. I think it would be a really fantastic trip.
Thanks for your help.  Learn how you can help Calista!  Meet Calista's brother Austin!

MY MISSION: Please Help Me STOP CYBER BULLYING
and Help Keep Teens Using the Internet SAFE!

My name is Cati and I am a 16 year old junior at a local high school in San Diego, CA. I want to help make our world a safer place! I decided to start this site on my 15th birthday as a way to reach out to other teens about how important INTERNET SAFETY is and how we can join together to STOP CYBER BULLYING.
TURNING TEARS INTO ACTION.......
Unfortunately, many teens have been the victims of internet crimes and cyber bullying.
Take the pledge to not be a bully and to BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!
I continue to strive to be better every day of my life and I live my life to the fullest. Being a teen isn't easy and each teen should be able to face middle school and high school prepared and ready for some of the tough issues they may face.

I want everyone to be able to feel safe on the internet and be confident that they WILL NOT be cyber bullied. Join ME and use my tips to stay safe and to stop the vicious trend of cyber bullying.
Please help with travel expenses so I may travel to be a part of Kids Are Heroes Day on October 24, 2009! Thank you and God Bless!  Learn how you can help Cati.
