Six year old Michael raised almost $9 in pennies all by himself for pandas after reading about ways he could help while researching the Giant Panda for a diorama project he was doing for school. He stayed up very late one night to put it all together after a week of lots of reading. Michael was so pleased with the result of his project when he was done. Michael absolutely loves pandas. He sleeps with a stuffed panda every night. Since he was 4, he’s wanted to be a police officer when he grows up. Since learning about the panda, he wants to be a police officer that protects pandas.

Thanks, Michael, for being such an awesome Panda Protector!
