ATLANTA, GA - The International Children's Advisory Network, Inc. (iCAN) is pleased to announce the winner of the 2022 iCAN Video Essay Scholarship contest.


In Memory of Kate Palermo

As a youth member of iCAN, Kate brought not only a strong voice to support pediatric healthcare, but also, a delightful sense of humor in dealing with her own healthcare needs. Kate's radiant spirit lives on, inspiring the iCAN community each and every day.


Earlier this year, all iCAN Youth Members ages 8-18 were invited to honor the memory of Kate by creating a video essay under the topic of "Why is iCAN Important to Me?".
