    Tommy Rhomberg, Outstanding Philanthropic Youth

    Anyone can be a philanthropist. Philanthropy is about caring for others and trying to have a positive impact on the world. Tommy Rhomberg is both an exemplary philanthropist and proof that anyone can lift up those around them. Tommy decided to make a baseball bat out of Derecho debris, for his friend who’s birthday party was supposed to be soon after the derecho hit Cedar Rapids in 2020. All told, Tommy made nearly 500 bats by hand, raising more than $8,000 for derecho recovery. Even for those who couldn’t get their hands on a hand-made Tommy Rhomberg bat, the story provided some inspiration. Donors from around the world have made gifts to the Disaster Recovery Fund in Tommy’s honor, totaling more than $16,000. Help us celebrate Tommy at the NPD Awards Luncheon on November 15.
