2007 Year End Survey | Hannah Teter

Between baseball's steroids scandal, Michael Vick, Marion Jones, Floyd Landis and a slew of other ne'er-do-wells, it's easy to dismiss athletes as selfish, greedy and lacking integrity. That's why Hannah Teter is refreshing. Not only is the Vermont native rocking the winner's podium, appearing in movies and traveling the world, she's focusing on feeding children in Africa that have been orphaned by AIDS.

Hannah's Gold is a brand of Grade A Vermont Maple Syrup that her family boils and is sold to help those children in Africa. The proceeds of the sales go to World Vision which is a "Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. They serve the world's poor- regardless of a person's religion, race, ethnicity, or gender."

Plus, she's a music fan which makes it even easier to get behind her.

You can order a bottle of Hannah's Gold from her website.

4) What was your favorite thing about 2007?

Learning about Darfur and reaching out to try and help and raise more awareness... because still today people dont know ! And if you reading this & dont know about the genocide in Darfur..... over 600,000 have been murdered and/or starved to death, and 2 million are homeless and living in a hellish state of life. Very sad. But it can be changed if everybody reached out and said this sort of crap can't happen.
