Taylor Swift's ACM date

Taylor Swift wasn't seen with her date but he was there.  Last year Kevin McGuire asked Taylor to his senior prom.  Kevin is battling leukemia and his sister launched a facebook page to get Taylor to accept his invitation.  Swift's schedule however made it impossible for her to attend but instead she invited Kevin to the ACM's last year.  He couldn't go because he was too ill.  So the invitation was extended to this year.  Kevin and his family were there in the back of the theater.  They hung out with Taylor in her hotel room before the show and had pictures taken.  Then they met her backstage afterwards.  Taylor's special date

6-year-old gives back

Last December, Jake June spent some time at Stony Brook Long Island Children's Hospital due to a bad case of stomach flu.  He wanted to give something back so he held a fund raiser at his father's business.  He sold iced tea and cookies which raised $275.  His mother helped him find a place to buy coloring books in bulk.  Jake chose coloring books to donate because the hospital had plenty of crayons but no books.  Jake was able to provide 1,800 coloring books.  donation
