Description
There's a group of moms and daughters, in East County, who have been volunteering thousands of hours in our community, every year, since 1968.
It's called SPRITES. It stands for Spiritual, Philanthropic, Recreational, Inspirational, Training, Educational and Social.
Our own CBS 8's Jenny Day was a member of the organization from 7th grade to 12th grade and often hosts their annual gala. She said the girls today are still representing it well.
"I describe it as a great organization and a way for me and my mom to bond," Reese Hanks said, who is a senior at Valhalla High School.
"It's been really great. I love volunteering. I know I'm making a small difference," Natalie Muench said, who is also a Valhalla Senior.
They've spent time at each of the 20 charities, that SPRITES supports. "We have about 7,500 volunteer hours per year for all of SPRITES," Hanks said.
