Hutchison Senior Recognized for St. Jude Fundraising Efforts
Eliza Flores ’25 is on a mission to make a difference for St. Jude patients, and the hospital is celebrating her work and success.
Eliza has raised $11,000 over two years and organizes various events to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. She received a special award from St. Jude for her fundraising efforts, and she was recently featured on the hospital’s website.
She has several ongoing projects for St. Jude including “Parents Night Out,” an initiative she hosts once a month. She also is a member of the St. Jude Leadership Society, a philanthropic and leadership development program for high school students.
“I think we all want to see good in the world and see change happening in a positive way, and volunteering goes hand in hand with that idea. Being positive and lifting other people will help my generation make the world a better place for our kids when we get older,” she said in the article.
You can read more about Eliza’s volunteer work and fundraising efforts on the St. Jude website. In addition, she has established herself as a servant leader at Hutchison. She became a member of the Ascensus Society during her sophomore year after completing 125 volunteer hours. She also received the Rhodes College Book Award, which recognizes a sophomore for exceptional service to her community.
