Lilly has always been involved in her community and supportive of causes she believes in. When her father passed away from cystic fibrosis in 2009, Lilly became dedicated to volunteering for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in his memory. She has raised thousands of dollars, become a spokesperson for the organization in Louisiana, helped organize events and was recently named the Teen Advocate for Louisiana and will visit Washington, DC in June to speak with Congressmen about making life better for people with CF.
Lilly received the Kohl's Cares Scholarship for her work with the CFF. Lilly also volunteers her time with the local Women's Shelter, working with children in the shelter's afterschool program. In addition to giving talks on various topics, including bullying, Lilly held her birthday party in February at the shelter so her friends could see how much fun volunteering there could be. Instead of gifts, she asked her friends to bring board games for the kids in the program. Lilly was recently named one of the shelter's Volunteers of the Year. She also has volunteered serving meals with the local soup kitchen, has been a Salvation Army bell ringer and volunteered with the local animal shelter.
Lilly also believes in encouraging others to get involved with the community. She started her own web show called Community Chat with Lilly Guilbeau in which she interviews representatives from various organizations or programs and encourages kids to get involved. This lead to our local television station asking Lilly to serve as a community blogger for the station's website. Lilly now writes about things going on in the community, school, etc. so everyone can see how wonderful our community is.

Lilly G. rocks! She already makes top grades besides her many existing involvements and more opportunities that continually crop up. She also cares for the Brian Guilbeau Memorial Garden, models, writes and takes workshops to improve her many talents. And when her mom's spirits waver, Lilly quickly turns her frowns upside down with her natural gift of comedy. Lilly is a rich blessing wherever she is, whatever she's doing. And she just keeps on getting better. I'm looking forward to hearing about her DC visit. Post a Reply |
