The Sparks of Change Foundation, created in memory of Beth Tfiloh graduate Daniel Siegel, who died last year, kicks off its fundraising efforts from 6-8 p.m. Nov. 22 at Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
At a young age, Daniel Joseph Siegel of Pikesville aspired to affect change in the world. "Interestingly, when he was little, about 4 or 5, he said he wanted to be a changer," said his mother, Janet Berg. And when Siegel, 22, knew he wasn't going to make it because of a brain tumor, he asked his mother if he had made a difference. Siegel's sister and his girlfriend put the word out and "he just got tons of letters from people, about what he had done—how he had influenced them," Berg said. Through the The Sparks of Change Foundation, Berg said her family hopes to continue making a difference in memory of her son. "We wish to honor and nurture the fire of Daniel's spirit by finding individuals whose ideas and projects embody Daniels wish for…
