Do Something Awards honors TWR Founder
Every year, DoSomething.org presents the Do Something Awards to honor young adults making a difference in the world. Out of more than 1,000 applicants, the panel chose Danny Mendoza as one of the 5 finalists! This recognition highlights Danny’s tireless efforts to support foster youth through his work with Foster Love – Together We Rise. Danny’s commitment to creating positive change has been felt across communities, and being named a finalist is a testament to the impact he has made.
DoSomething.org awards four of the finalists with $10,000 grants and one grand prize winner with a grant totaling $100,000. The funds are meant to help further the winners’ charitable initiatives and expand the reach of their efforts. Danny has been actively working to ensure that children in foster care have access to the resources, support, and love they deserve. The recognition will help him continue to build on his mission and make an even greater impact. With his heart set on helping foster youth, this award will allow Danny to fund more initiatives that support children in need.
In Santa Monica on August 20th, Danny will appear alongside the other four finalists at the Do Something awards show, which will be televised on VH1. The event brings together some of the most inspiring young leaders from around the world to celebrate the incredible work they are doing to make the world a better place. Danny is excited to join such an amazing group of individuals who are all striving for a common goal: to create change.
The Do Something Awards will serve as a powerful platform to further raise awareness about foster care and provide additional support for Foster Love – Together We Rise’s initiatives.
