La Junta, February 2, 2024 – Samuel Tozzie, a 13-year-old resident of La Junta, has been nominated as a candidate for the American Heart Association's prestigious 2024 Teen of Impact award. This recognition comes as a result of Samuel's commitment to community service and his ambitious goal to raise $25,000 in support of the American Heart Association's mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.
