2017 Recipient: Bailey Lawrence, Lake Forest community High School District 115

Bailey's ability and creativity to produce videos for organizations such as; Bravo Waukegan, GLASA, North Chicago Elementary School, Lake Bluff Public Library, and To Write Love on Her Arms, not only raises awareness and funds but allows her to demonstrate her passion of filmmaking. Bailey said, "The true reason I love filmmaking is because it gives me the power to impact people and tell a story and that's what I will continue to do in college and the rest of my life. The values I've learned from taking these small but meaningful roles are what make me… me."

Congratulations Allen for being awarded this year’s Kiwanis Tradition of Service Award.

2016 Recipient: Allen Yuan, Lake Forest community High School District 115

Beginning as a freshman and continuing throughout his four years at LFHS, Allen Yuan created a presence; not just his stellar academic achievements or his talents in music, and not just that he was a volunteer at school events and helped community organizations, but how Allen blended all three attributes equally. As someone once said, “Generosity is the Heart of Humanity.” That is Allen Yuan.

Congratulations Allen for being awarded this year’s Kiwanis Tradition of Service Award.
