Syracuse Teen Gives Back $70,000 Charity Raffle SUV

Today may be do something nice day, but Erin Byrnes did something nice already. The 13-year-old girl from Camillus, New York won a $70,000 SUV in a raffle and gave it back. Her generosity caught national attention and she appeared on 'Fox and Friends' this weekend to tell her story.

The vehicle was given away to raise money for Joseph’s House, a home for pregnant women, mothers and children. Not only does Byrnes babysit at the home once a week, she's been raising money for Joseph's House for more than a year. "I collected over $500 worth of bottles and cans. $200 went towards the raffle and I bought 60 tickets."

Erin says she immediately gave the vehicle back after winning. "Joseph's House is very important to me and they need the money more than I do. If you saw those babies, you would have done the same thing."

With the holidays around the corner, Erin is continuing her efforts to give back, raising money to b gifts for the mothers and children at the home. Several businesses and people have offered to help and you can too by donating at JHFW.org.
