Meet Asher Pennington

Third Grader, Asher Pennington, started a fundraiser at Bear Elementary School in Miamisburg so that he could help kids get the medical care they need. Asher’s passion for giving back began after his brother Arrick spent time in the Dayton Children’s NICU back in 2010. Asher said that his brother spent “time in a box” because of the time he was in an incubator. He started collecting pull tabs because he knows that it is a way to “help families when they need it most.”
