United Way of San Luis Obispo County was visited by Jack and Luke Haring of San Luis Obispo, accompanied by their mother, Lindsey. The boys dropped by to present a check with the proceeds from their lemonade stand on Los Osos Valley Road, by Laguna Middle School, which netted over $100 for United Way of San Luis Obispo County’s Community Impact Fund.
Jack and Luke told their mom that they wanted to donate the money to United Way in honor of Allison’s Angels, a high school club of socially aware students. CEO Rick London, after shaking hands with the boys and being handed the check, told their mother, “When I worry about the future of our community, I will remember this day and think of these boys, and know that we are in good hands.”
Angels for Allison is a non-profit organization founded in memory of 15-year old Allison Haramis, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident in April 2009. Her family and friends wanted to create a living legacy of her joyous spirit by giving back to those in need, specifically by aiding with the financial needs of families who are suffering with the loss of a child, and thus created the ‘Angels for Allison’ Foundation.
