Who is Jeff Hanson and why has he made a Better Reusable Bag for Whole Foods Market? He's a kid who made $15,000 selling lemonade and notecards at his lemonade stand when he was 12 years old. And now he's a world famous artist - who wouldn't be if they personally knew Elton John and other stars because of their art - and their philanthropy? But he also is 17 and visually impaired, having dealt with neurofibromatosis for the last 5 years. He paints because he loves it and so that he can donate part of his proceeds for charities that have touched him, including the Children's Tumor Foundation and Make-A-Wish. I bought my bag at the Overland Park Whole Foods Market, Overland Park, KS - the hometown of Jeff Hanson, local hero.
