Jasmine is a 14 year old, from Warren, MI. On August 10th she will be taking on a journey, from South Haven, MI to Port Huron, MI, carrying the American flag over 250 miles (10 marathons) on foot in 8 days or less across the great state of Michigan in support of our Veterans. She has a goal of raising $25,000 for our Vets for America's 250th birthday.
Jasmine graduated Warren Woods Middle School with a 4.0 GPA. She is a member of the student council. Jasmine plays the oboe and flute and the school band received 1st place from the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association. She is part of the color guard and swim team.
Jasmine is always looking to help others. Through face painting, she has raised $1,000 for Jaxwalk to support our Veterans. She has donated her time and effort to the Rainbow Connection, DAWG (Detroit Animal Welfare Group) and the VFW.
She is an inspiration for all generations. Jasmine said "The veterans have given years of there lives to help. I'm happy to support them and give them some of my time to say thank you."
She has plans to help the homeless later this year!
