national competition this summer. She attended Ocean City High School 
and held multiple leadership positions and was heavily involved in 
community service. She raised over $25,000 for Make-A-Wish and raised 
over $2,000 for Children's Miracle Network hospitals. Isabella was 
inspired to give back to her community because of her brother, Antonio. 
Antonio was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, and qualified to 
receive a wish from Make-a-Wish. After Isabella witnessed what Make-a-
Wish did for her brother, she wanted to become a volunteer and actively 
fundraise to help other children like Antonio. Isabella says that our 
voices have the power to change the world, and she is absolutely right. 
Our young generation will be our future leaders, and I am honored to be 
able to recognize Isabella for all of her accomplishments. God Bless 
Isabella and God Bless America.
