About Fifth Third Bank Orlando Magic Maker Corey Warner
Corey Warner is a 12-year-old philanthropist who loves bringing joy to needy children. What started out as a school project to do seven and a half hours of community service for Warner’s language-arts class at Sanford Middle School, turned into an effort to continuously raise funds and items for needy children in and around Central Florida.

Warner has done more for the community in his twelve short years than most have done in a lifetime. For instance, during Thanksgiving in 2006, Warner collected 5,000 cans of food and 760 pounds of turkey to feed 400 abandoned, abused or impoverished children. For Christmas he bought the children 200 Christmas toys, on Easter he offered them a ham dinner, during the summer he arranged for them to attend summer camp and in September he held a back-to-school book bag drive complete with free haircuts, eyeglasses and a pizza party.

Warner has not stopped there; this past Thanksgiving he topped his 2006 numbers by feeding nearly 700 children and struggling families. He has even written a letter to Governor Charlie Crist about making child abuse awareness a part of school curriculum and has enlisted five schools to launch a “Can Child Abuse” food drive, which helps collect canned food items for impoverished children. Corey is continuously striving to make a difference and says he still has much more to achieve when it comes to helping others. Warner ultimately just wants to get the word out on the importance of stopping child abuse so others can be more aware and hopefully join in on the fight against it.
