Carson City youth Everett Hogan a 2022 PBS Reno Spotlight finalist
PBS Reno presents the Spotlight Awards, a community awards show highlighting individuals and community groups making a positive impact in our region. Winners will be revealed at the PBS Reno Spotlight Awards and Auction on Sept. 16, 2022.
According to his bio, not only is the Carson City youth a straight-A sixth-grader, but he also participates in several sports teams, and helps other students with their schoolwork.
Everett mows lawns and shovels snow for elderly neighbors, without accepting payment to help those in his neighborhood. For most of his birthdays, he asks friends to bring pet food instead of gifts so that he can donate to the animal shelter.
His teachers always state they wish they had a class full of kids like him who strive to help the world around him a better place.

The two other youths selected as finalists are Benjamin Brown and Denali Cook.
