What others say about Christian:
Matthew Shaw, United Way director of campaign and marketing, described Christian O’Brien as intelligent, wise beyond his years, enthusiastic and compassionate.
“The United Way is all about embracing and building community. We couldn’t think of another person to highlight in our video. Christian’s family used multiple services the United Way funds. One of the things both he and his mom say is if United Way hadn’t funded these services, their family wouldn’t be here today.”
From Andie Hannon, director of the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Maine’s Auburn/Lewiston Clubhouse:
“Christian is an incredible young man who has been a very influential part of our clubhouse … We are so lucky to have him representing Lewiston-Auburn as “Youth of the Year,” and look forward to his being an incredible young leader here in the years to come. He and his family have been through so much. We are lucky to have them involved with our club family.”
