Clayton Hanson uses birthday wish to help others in need

Clayton Hanson is a young man who thinks of others before himself. Clayton celebrated his 11th birthday this past July and invited his friends to celebrate with him, with one caveat. No gifts. “I would rather make a donation to a charitable organization to help others.” His friends were on board and donated money towards his cause. Clayton decided that the Waushara County Food Pantry was his choice organization to help. Recently he presented the donation to Nate Knight, Waushara County Food Pantry Executive Director. Clayton is a black belt at American Martial Arts Academy and is known for his courtesy and kindness to others both in and out of his martial arts school. When people say “ kids now a days “ this is what should come to mind. Clayton represents young kids who think of helping others first. This intentional act of good-will certainly proves this. Clayton is the son of Denise and Tim Hanson.
