ISABELLA FREUND MISS TEEN
______
HON. JEFFERSON VAN DREW
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Thursday, September 30, 2021
Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I am honored to be able to recognize Isabella Freund who was announced Miss New Jersey Outstanding Teen. A South Jersey native, Isabella will go on to represent our state in the national competition this summer. She attended Ocean City High School and held multiple leadership positions and was heavily involved in community service. She raised over $25,000 for Make-A-Wish and raised over $2,000 for Children's Miracle Network hospitals. Isabella was inspired to give back to her community because of her brother, Antonio. Antonio was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, and qualified to receive a wish from Make-a-Wish. After Isabella witnessed what Make-a-
Wish did for her brother, she wanted to become a volunteer and actively fundraise to help other children like Antonio. Isabella says that our voices have the power to change the world, and she is absolutely right. Our young generation will be our future leaders, and I am honored to be able to recognize Isabella for all of her accomplishments. God Bless Isabella and God Bless America.
