“I like to do community service because I have always had a passion for help others, and I have been helping others though the We Cancerve movement along with mowing and shoveling snow for my neighbors and grandparents.”

He is currently an eighth grade enrolled in a Harford County Public School.

Mason joined the board after attending a few of We Cancervec events. He participated in community events Sensational toiletries drive, the Eggstra Special Easter Bagskits drive, and Snack Attack. As a highly recommended community volunteer, he also volunteered as a Camp Happy counselor and helped the board of advisors brainstorm prizes and activities for the free summer enrichment camp We Cancerve created in 2015.

“I believe that I can bring some ideas in to the program and also help more kids that are just like me,” said Mason.
