Brendan Daly is a sophomore at St. Sebastian's School in Needham, MA. While heavily involved in sports - football, hockey and baseball - Brendan also realizes the importance of taking time to focus on others by volunteering and serving his local community. He is a leader in his school program to support the underprivileged students attending the San Miguel School in Rhode Island - a day school in one of the poorer neighborhoods in Providence. He works with classmates, friends and family to collect and stuff backpacks with a multitude of useful items for the young boys of San Miguel, and goes above and beyond to encourage donations from the community. As part of the program, he learns more about the lives of the students in Providence and strives to form a tight bond between the schools that allows both communities to learn from one another

Nicole Muller is a senior honors student at Western Albemarle High School in Charlottesville, VA. Last year she founded a food drive called Neighbors-4-Neighbors to help her local food bank and then decided to take her campaign nationally. Nicole has inspired hundreds of people to help gather food donations, run food drives nationally and also donate virtually to their local food bank. Known locally as the "Food Girl" she was chosen to do a PSA for the local Food bank. This year she is even expanding her efforts and hopes to involve every high school and elementary school in her area in a hunger-relief program.
When Nicole takes a little time for herself, she loves to get into a good book or hang out with her close friends and family. She is heading off to college in 2011 and after completion hopes to start a career in TV production.
