Sasha Lipton, founder of Second Chance Toys, was selected to receive a bronze Distinguished Finalist medallion in the 2008 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards for recognition of outstanding volunteer work. As part of her community service work, Sasha has also qualified for the President's Volunteer Service Award on behalf of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation.
Sasha Lipton was named the Governor Livingston High School Volunteer of the Year in The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program. Sponsored by Prudential Financial and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), the awards recognize outstanding community service by young Americans. Sasha is now eligible for the New Jersey Youth Volunteer of the Year awards. Two State Honorees, one middle level and one high school student, will be named in February. Each will receive a $1,000 award, a silver medallion, and a trip to Washington, D.C., for recognition ceremonies.
The Joan Hamburg Show on WOR Radio 710 raved about the merits of Second Chance Toys on their program dedicated to Green Living. While Sasha was at field hockey practice, her mom called into the show and explained how Sasha started the organization to rescue, refurbish and recycle plastic toys. During the commercial break, Emme who was sitting in for Joan Hamburg must have gone onto the SCT website because once back on air, she was so excited about the mission of the organization and urged people who wanted to donate toys or start chapters to go to our website.
