Two youth from Lawrenceville have been named regional winners in the Kohl's Cares Scholarship Program and are recipients of a $1,000 educational awards.
The honored youth are:
Wynter Bayne, 11: Wynter donates a hat or scarf to someone in need for every hat or scarf she sold through her business, Live.Laugh.LoveYarn!
Jeffrey Ojwang, 18: In fourth grade, Jeffrey started collecting toys, books, clothes, shoes and old computers and coordinated with his church to send these items to Kenya to help children in need.
