Teen Honored For Donating Birthday Money to Wheelchair Camp

"We need more kids like Madison, there's no question."

Those words were spoken by Mission Viejo wheelchair tennis coach Jason Harnett, who helped honor 16-year-old Madison Savlov during Monday's City Council meeting.

Savlov has spent the past two years donating time and money to wheelchair tennis.

Each week Savlov volunteers at a cognitively disabled youth tennis clinic in Tustin Hills.

And for the past two years, she's asked that instead of birthday presents, her family and friends donate money to the Cruyff Foundation Junior Wheelchair Camp.

Savlov was given the Community of Character award Monday night for "living and modeling exemplary character qualities" such as ""service, caring and responsibility," said Councilwoman Trisha Kelley.

Would you give away your birthday presents?
