Schaumburg Youth Volunteer of the Year Award

About This Award

Inspired by his mother's experience with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, he founded Detailing for MCAS — a Schaumburg-based volunteer initiative supporting people affected by rare immune disorders.

"As a student, he personally plans and participates in local events, dedicating consistent time to coordinating volunteers, assembling care packages and engaging the community," wrote nominator and Conant High School science teacher Hannah Kutchek. "Since its founding, his initiative has helped raise over $100,000 in care package supplies and research support. Balancing school and part-time work, Michael-Christopher continues to mentor fellow students and lead year-round volunteer efforts. His dedication and hands-on service embody the spirit of youth volunteerism in Schaumburg."
