A Havre de Grace teen is turning her Sweet 16 into something meaningful by swapping birthday gifts for giving back.
Edgewood High School sophomore Merantha “Mira” Hunt launched “Sweet 16 for Success,” a fundraiser benefiting Dress for Success Greater Baltimore, which helps women prepare for job interviews and enter or reenter the workforce.
What started with a $1,000 goal has already surpassed expectations, raising more than $1,000 ahead of her May 8 birthday celebration and she is now aiming even higher.
