  • Each school principle reviewed the entire student body and selected these young men and women as the students who met our specific criteria and exhibited exemplary characteristics of being intentionally committed to making a difference within their community and having a passion for helping those who may be less fortunate.

    The students will be recognized at a special breakfast April 20, 8 am at the Riviera Ballroom in Lake Geneva. Sal Dimiceli will serve as the event's keynote speaker. Sal is from Lake Geneva and was recently featured as one of the top 10 CNN Heroes of the Year.

    The purpose of A Day of Difference is to recognize students from Walworth County area high schools who are making a difference in their community by sacrificially giving of their time, talents and financial resources. The event was created and organized by Mercy Foundation and Calvary Community Church to recognize and honor area students who demonstrate the art of making a difference in their community.
