In honor of a family friend who, at age 7, was diagnosed with cancer, Bethany Berg ’11 began a community service project benefitting the Children's Medical Center. At the recommendation of the childlife specialists, Bethany started to collect activities for the children in isolation during their chemotherapy treatments. Several weeks later, she saw a commercial for Pepsi's Refresh Project and applied for a $5000 grant. After submitting a project plan, budget, and social impact report she qualified for the grant by having the most votes in July. She will receive the money by the first of September.
NBC will be filming Bethany at Children’s Medical Center on September 9 to talk about the Pepsi Refresh Project grant she received. Pepsi is also featuring all the grant recipients in a commercial.
