Leader of Youth Council cited for community service

Shae Horrigan, leader on the Strategies for a Stronger Sanford Youth Council, has been awarded the 2013 York County Youth Spirit of Service Award for commitment to service and impact in the community.

Sponsored by United Way of York County, in partnership with Kennebunk Savings, the award is given annually to a young volunteer with high commitment, large impact on the community and service beyond others performing similar work.

A selection committee found that Horrigan demonstrated all of those qualities.

In recognition of Horrigan’s service, the Kennebunk Savings Foundation awarded $250 to the charity of her choice and $250 toward her educational expenses.

Shae and other young volunteers — Caleb Heyland of Kennebunk, Madeline Andrews of Wells, Meredith Marquis of Acton, Andrew Bryant of South Berwick, Emily Shupp of Sanford, the Thornton Academy Action Team, Emily Doyon of Biddeford and Elyse Oliver of Biddeford — were honored at the 18th Annual Day of Caring kickoff breakfast on June 5.
