What Makes Addison Riecke So Special
Addison loves the fact that she can transform into any character while acting. Her first role was that of a bully, while in real life she is part of many anti-bullying campaigns. A mature actor at such a young age, she compares auditioning to waiting at the bus stop. If she misses one, there will be another coming. Wise enough to know that she cannot change anything once she leaves the audition room, she gives each opportunity her best and leaves it there. Alternative music is her favorite, and she intends to follow music later in her life. She often takes her ukulele to the set of her show to jam with her co-stars. Addison is an animal lover at heart. She spends quality time with the dogs or cats that are brought to the set of her show during filming. Her most striking quality is her generosity. Even at this stage of her life, she is associated with more charitable work than many adult people ever do in their whole life.
Beyond Fame
Her interest in charity might be the influence of her mother, who co-founded the non-profit organization Holidays for Kids. Addison once told in an interview that she is often told that she is wise beyond her age, a trait she shares with her on-screen character Nora. Her actions definitely prove her right. What makes her stand out from other celebrities taking part in charitable works is her willingness to give. A kid herself, she not only gave out her birthday gifts to children at L.A. Children's Hospital in 2014, she even requested for pet supplies instead of gifts on her next birthday so that she can donate the supplies to the St. Tammany Humane Society.
In 2013, she raised over $4000 for the Red Cross to help the tornado victims in Oklahoma. She is always against bullying and takes every opportunity to stand against it. In 2015, she participated in Custom Ink's 5th annual "Be Good to Each Other" campaign which supports PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center. She also presented an award at the 2015 NO BULL Teen Video Awards. She is also involved in the "Write Brain Gives" initiative by Write Brain Books that undertakes philanthropic works to help needy kids. In 2015, she visited Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to donate Write Brain Books and Authors Kits to children and their families. In her hometown, she in associated with the Food Bank of Covington and STARC.
