Hi my name is Molly.  I am a 2^nd grader and I am required to do a research project each year for a program called Texas Research Institute for Young Scholars.  I chose to do a research project on pandas this year.  Not only did I learn a lot but I was also able to educate my friends and teachers about pandas.  As part of my project, I collected change for Pennies 4 Pandas.   I also had my 8^th birthday party that was panda themed, and I asked my friends to donate to the cause.  I was able to raise a total of $200.71 for pandas thanks to the generosity of my friends and family.  I hope that I promoted a passion for plight of pandas.

Thank you Molly for your amazing dedication, for educating others and for truly helping the Pandas.
