- Volunteers: Raelynn & Rileigh

Good Neighbor House is very proud that two of its youngest volunteers were recently honored by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey for their volunteer service.

Raelynn and Rileigh were nominated for the Barnum Award by Good Neighbor House. The Barnum Award was created to honor and celebrate children who give back to their communities in creative and innovative ways.


Raelynn and Rileigh volunteer with their grandfather at the GNH food pantry, giving their time and energy to stock the pantry and to fill food orders for GNH clients. They received their awards during a pre-show award ceremony before opening night of The Greatest Show On Earth in Dayton on April 29th. The awards, presented by Ringmaster Alex Ramon, consisted of Barnum Medals and cash awards to help the girls continue their volunteer service to the community. Ramon concluded the award ceremony by expressing hope that Rileigh and Raelynn will “inspire children of all ages tonight with your fine example. I know that P.T. Barnum would be proud.”
