What are Shanon Obrien's favorite activities?Shanon loves basketball, singing, dancing, and being silly. He loves helping his mom make pancakes from scratch on Saturday mornings and baking Swedish cinnamon buns on the weekends. Cars and trucks, especially garbage trucks, are his favorite, he waits excitedly to wave at the workers each week.
How would $25,000 impact your family?Winning $25,000 would help us finally visit family in Sweden, Shanon’s second home, which we’ve never been able to afford. He’s half Swedish and one-eighth Japanese, and we dream of taking him to both countries to connect with his roots. At 3 years old, he’s full of wonder, and we’d love to celebrate Christmas in Sweden and create lasting memories with family he’s never met.
