Chris Carroll was an ideal 4-H member before he died. He was always willing to lend a helpful hand when someone needed it. He is a true example of someone who uses their hands, heart, head and health to make both their community and the world a better place. This award is annually granted to a member recognized for his/her community both in and out of their club.

He has held many officer positions, including sergeant at arms, reporter, and currently he is the president of the club.
When asked why they voted for Luc for the Chris Carrol award, members said he is super helpful, reliable, fair, helpful, hard-working, doesn’t complain, and is always volunteering.
After winning the award, Hauptman said, “I am honored and shocked and I thank everyone.”
Hauptman and his parents went out to dinner with Carroll’s parents to learn more about their son’s accomplishments and how he used his skills to make the best better.
Luc’s mother, Shannon Hauptman, said: “It was very nice to meet and spend time with his parents and learn about how they raised their kids in 4-H.”
