AJ collected money from friends and family. By the end of his fundraising mission, the Pennsbury student had raised $415 for the shelter. He also presented 50 handmade scarves that were from his grandmother.
Oxford Valley Elementary School Principal Fran Nitkin called AJ a “role model” for other students.
In return for donations, friends and family received homemade cookies from AJ.
