Unlocking heads and hearts

KUDOS: Julie Marie Pashko, 12, Heart of the Valley Christian School in Reseda was recognized last year by the LA Times.
She recruited friends to donate 700 inches of hair – including 15 inches of her own – to "Locks of Love," a non-profit organization providing hairpieces to underserved children suffering from medical hair loss.

IDs her as a Santa Ana resident. Seems far. Also says "Award finalists, ages 7-13, were nominated by parents, teachers and community leaders who submitted 200-word essays describing their nominee's contributions." Winners got names in a congratulatory advertisement to appear in the LATimes, a statue, four annual passes to a local amusement park and a t-shirt.
