Anabelle Brueggemann was the 2023 winner of the Young Women Making A Difference Award. It recognized her work with Stories for Success, a non-profit that provides children’s books to new parents at Saratoga Hospital. Annabelle, now a sophomore at Lafayette College, recently updated SISC on her many activities and accomplishments.

“Stories for Success and this award opened many doors for me and gave me a foundation of experience and interest in working with my community that has been so useful at college,” she said.
