Distinguished Finalist

Lindsey Chew, 17, of Chandler, Ariz., a senior at Hamilton High School, made thousands of origami cranes and delivered them to patients at Chandler Regional Medical Center. Lindsey, who participated in the summer Volunteen Program at Chandler, wanted to help spread joy beyond the summer, and decided to make origami cranes because Japanese legend says that one thousand paper cranes can cure illness.
