As a child, Lauren Seabrook gave her birthday money to the Allison McCater House and asked that her Christmas presents be given as bed kits through Sleeping Children Around The World, through which she currently sponsors a young woman in Kenya. She also created the Lauren Seabrook Play It Forward Award: every year, $100 is given to a Grade 8 student who demonstrates leadership and initiative, who then must "pay it forward."
