The 2021 Young Ambassador Scholarship winner and recipient of the $3,000 award is Shanaiyah Brown. A resident of New York City, Shanaiyah is a sophomore at SUNY Binghamton. As part of her winning project, Shanaiyah raised awareness about the importance of eye donation on social media by producing a compelling slideshow on the issue including how to enroll in the NYS Donate Life Registry and urging friends to re-post the slides. Her passion for advocating for eye, organ and tissue donation comes from caring for her mother who is battling kidney disease and is on the organ transplant waiting list.
