Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy Micah Pinson, age 13, has conducted toy drives for the past six years benefitting children treated at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. As a patient at TSRH, he learned that toys are an important part of the hospital's therapeutic care plan for children. So Micah enlisted the help of other students, corporations and volunteers to organize drives that have brought in more than 25,000 toys. In May, 2017, Micah was honored as the Texas Middle Level State Recipient of the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He has also received the First Lady's Rising Star Award from the Texas Governor and his wife.
