Student hits the pavement for Crop Walk

When 9-year-old Jamie Joseph saw that $500 would be enough for a woman to start her own business, she made it her goal to raise the money for this year’s Crop Walk.
“Since I could, I wanted to,” Jamie said.
Jamie, a fourth grader at Burton Street Elementary, went door to door in the village of Cazenovia with her mother, Renee, asking for donations. She raised $1,006, making her the single highest collector.
Jamie encouraged others to raise money and walk for the hungry.
“It makes you feel so good to know you are making a difference,” she said.
Her relatives, friends, and neighbors helped her with her goal, and her father matched the funds she collected.
In addition, the St. James’ confirmation class collected $1,700 as the largest group donation, with 32 walkers participating. Cazenovia College students brought their miniature horses and the Lincklaen Shamrock 4-H club picked apples at Johnny Appleseeds who donated the apples.
Last year, Jamie heard about a project for the clean water campaign for Haiti. She saved her allowance to help out, including her $5 in tooth fairy money.
Jamie swims, sails and plays basketball, tennis, soccer and baseball.
This year, the Cazenovia Crop Walk collected $5,984 collected, which was about $700 more than last year, with about 120 walkers participating. Along with members of various churches, high school students, Project Cafe members, Cazenovia College students, and 4-H members walked and financially supported the Walk by soliciting donations of support.
