Accomplishments: Maddie started her own charity to benefit the homeless. 

Key to Awesomeness: Susan said, "My daughter Maddie has started her own charity, Warm A Heart.  She started this her sophomore year.  Essentially, it is a blanket drive that she conducted all by herself.  In addition to this, she has a proposal before the administration at Fort Zumwalt North to sponsor a cheerleading competition next year with all proceeds going to teen suicide awareness and prevention.  It is going to be called, Cheer Up!  The purpose is to raise funds and awareness for teen suicide, but also give the cheerleaders a chance to compete like the other athletes in their schools."
