Young philanthropist and Park Cities resident Stella Wrubel is corralling her elves to ensure the Christmas season is merry and bright. Last December, Stella, an eight-year-old at Lamplighter, sold bundles of mistletoe to raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy after she worried about her godfather’s safety.

This year Stella will be back again, but this time proceeds will benefit children who were affected by the tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma. Stella will set up shop in front of Five & Ten on Sundays in December and sell fresh bundles collected from her family farm. Highland Park Village is proud to support a young, budding philanthropist as she works toward her goal of raising $10,000!
