Youth Microgrant Program

Karma for Cara is a non-profit founded by 21-year-old Cara Becker and her family while she was undergoing treatment for leukemia at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. Cara and her two brothers began volunteering at a young age as part of their family’s commitment to community service.


Karma for Cara’s mission consists of three goals: supporting youth engagement and service, recognizing unsung heroes in service and reducing the suffering of cancer patients and their families. As part of their efforts to support youth volunteerism, they started a microgrant program, encouraging kids 18 and under to apply for funds to complete service projects in their communities.


Tell them about your project, and they’ll help you get started. Microgrants will range from $250 to $1,000 and be distributed as gift cards to home goods stores, office supply stores, grocery food chains and toy stores.

Avengers: Age of Ultron by Keefer B.

Age of Ultron

This much-awaited sequel to The Avengers films does not disappoint! The story features Tony Stark trying to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program and things go awry. Earth's Super Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for a global adventure. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, James Spader, Samuel L. Jackson and more, this star-studded cast delivers. KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Keefer B., comments, “There are not enough words in the world to express how happy I am. As a Marvel fan, this film showcases some of my favorite comic book characters together in one plot line in a bigger and better way.” See his full review below.
