Description of website:
Nine-year-old Taylor Crabtree is the owner of a nonprofit corporation that makes and sells hairclips. Proceeds from sales are used to buy teddy bears for kids with cancer and chronic blood diseases. Taylor's company has grown into a community-wide effort, with more than 500 kids helping to create and sell more than 12,000 hairclips. One hundred percent of donations and 93 percent of hairclip sales go directly to purchasing bears for sick kids; teddy bears have been sent to hospitals across the United States. You can order colorful hairclips or make a donation by visiting Taylor's site.
