Lebo Child Sends Webkinz To Children's Hospital

Morgan Meer perused her computer screen, following the suggestions of the software program that would keep her Webkinz stuffed animal happy and healthy in its virtual world. The Mt. Lebanon second-grader's expression showed steady concentration and pure enjoyment. And thanks to Morgan, 7, who collected more than $600 to purchase and donate 126 Webkinz to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, many patients wear that same expression.

Morgan recently was recognized for her service project by the Kohl's Kids Who Care Scholarship Program, which rewards children ages 6-18 who make a difference in the lives of others.

Morgan was one of 200 young volunteers nationwide to receive a $50 Kohl's gift card and a $1,000 scholarship. She is in the running for one of 10 $5,000 national scholarships to be announced at the end of July.
