We’re brought to you by Content With Teeth, a highly energetic creative content marketing agency. Doing it really big, like this big logo behind me.
Scrappy Jackson:
And today we celebrate Summer Kates, a young woman who certainly has an entrepreneurial spirit. Maybe not a traditional entrepreneur, but doing it really big. A victim of a car accident as a child, she flipped the script, taking her traumatic experience and turning into something amazing. A charity we call Summer’s Project. Welcome Summer.
Summer Kates:
Hi.
Scrappy Jackson:
Very cool to have you here.
Summer Kates:
Thank you for having me. It means a lot.
Scrappy Jackson:
Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate it. I know you’ve done a lot of interviews and you’re famous in Southwest Florida, but humble Content With Teeth Come Up podcast is thrilled to have you.
Summer Kates:
I’m excited to be here.
Scrappy Jackson:
So first off, congratulations. You just graduated from high school?
Summer Kates:
I did, yes.
Scrappy Jackson:
What was graduation like?
Summer Kates:
It was a mixture of emotions. I’m excited, but it’s just sad leaving the past.
Scrappy Jackson:
What are you going to do next?
Summer Kates:
I’m off to Florida State University. As of right now taking-
Scrappy Jackson:
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We have to stop this interview. I’m a University of Florida Gator.
Summer Kates:
Oh yeah. I was a University of Florida Gator, but paths have brought me to FSU.
Scrappy Jackson:
Okay. Have you learned to do [inaudible 00:01:42]?
Summer Kates:
Not yet. Not yet. It’ll come.
Scrappy Jackson:
Have you been to a game yet?
Summer Kates:
I have been doing the null sign, yes. That’s something I have to.
Scrappy Jackson:
You probably could get any college you want. You had a 5.5 GPA. That’s pretty amazing.
Summer Kates:
Oh yeah. It was between FSU and University of Georgia for me.
Scrappy Jackson:
Okay.
Summer Kates:
Tuition, it’s crazy nowadays.
Scrappy Jackson:
Absolutely. Absolutely. And you have this accident when you’re 10 years old?
Summer Kates:
Yes.
Scrappy Jackson:
This terrible car accident and you were in the hospital, Golisano Hospital. And you’re in pain. You’re recovering. It’s a difficult recovery. It’s a long recovery. And what’s going through your mind right after the accident?
Summer Kates:
You know, me being a 10 year old, I was also a very competitive soccer player. So my main idea in my head was, am I going to play soccer again? ‘Cause I had shattered my femur, which is one of your main bones that you need to walk and do basic functions of life. So not only was I scared, ’cause I had a fear of the hospital at that time. So not only was I petrified of being in the hospital, I was worried I was never going to do what I love most again. So it was just in my mind, just a scary experience.
Scrappy Jackson:
You were thinking about yourself at that moment, right?
Summer Kates:
Yes.
Scrappy Jackson:
Absolutely. Absolutely. Are you okay now? Is your femur okay now?
Summer Kates:
Yeah, I’m perfectly good now. I’ve been playing soccer for a few years.
Scrappy Jackson:
Awesome. Awesome.
Summer Kates:
Yeah. It only took about a year to get back on the field.
Scrappy Jackson:
Okay. So you’re thinking about yourself. You’re worried about soccer. But somewhere you flipped the script and said, “You know what? I can turn this into a positive.” So you’re at the hospital. You’re seeing fellow kids, fellow children, going through a lot. What made you compassionate?
Summer Kates:
Yeah. Being scared at the hospital, it took me about a day I want to say, and I started to notice how comforting the staff was. And I was just blown away about how comfortable they made me feel during my stay. They had, especially at Golisano, they had this big game room. And me being fresh out of surgery, they encouraged me to walk with my walker to the game room. So they not only motivated me through the steps of my recovery, but they were just always there for me to talk. I remember specifically, they brought a dog in one day to-
Scrappy Jackson:
I love that. I love that.
Summer Kates:
Yeah. Yeah. So I’ll always remember that. So once I saw the level of comfort that they provide the kids, I was just, wow. I want other kids to see this so that they’re not scared to go to the hospital like I once was.
Scrappy Jackson:
Very nice, very nice. Very caring, sensitive. But some of the kids over there were in a lot worse shape than you.
Summer Kates:
Yes.
Scrappy Jackson:
Did that lead to maybe thinking about a charity?
Summer Kates:
Yeah, it did. It really did, because there’s just so many circumstances that go behind it. Because there’s kids that are there for long term, and you have to think if a kid is living there, they want it to feel like home. They want it to be comfortable and have toys and games. And they just want to have a fun experience in a bad time.
Scrappy Jackson:
Do you go back there often?
Summer Kates:
I try, but with COVID it’s kind of iffy.
Scrappy Jackson:
True.
Summer Kates:
I’ve always wanted to go and just walk around and see the kids. Kind of be a support system. But with COVID, it’s just ruined any of those chances.
Scrappy Jackson:
You’re in a very unique situation at age 10. And you acted like an adult. You’re very mature for your age. And when you think about it, I compare it… I don’t know if you’re familiar with it, Buddhism. Buddhism is about being mindful in the moment and appreciating life and not taking it for granted. And this moment with you is a moment. I’m having a moment with Summer Kates right now. So what did you learn from your experience as far as appreciating life?
Summer Kates:
You know, it was really to just take the good out of the bad, because I feel like everybody, especially nowadays, is just so negative on any sort of experience. So it’s really there is always at least one positive outcome in a bad experience. You just have to be optimistic about how you’re looking at it. And for me, I just saw, well, I can motivate other kids and just show the good in the hospital rather than all the bad in the hospital.
Summer Kates:
‘Cause I feel like, especially for kids, their minds aren’t fully developed on the fact that the hospital is to help fix you. It’s more of just this scary place with a bunch of hurt people.
Scrappy Jackson:
Sure.
Summer Kates:
So I feel trying to get the message out to these kids that like, “Oh, it’s a fun place. They’re they’re help you.” And I just feel like that just motivates that message.
Scrappy Jackson:
I would love to bring a pot belly pig to Golisano Hospital and have the kids hang out with it for a day. They’re pretty tame. They’re pretty mature. They’re trained pretty well. Wouldn’t that be cool?
Summer Kates:
It would. It would.
Scrappy Jackson:
So you decide to make these cookies, these wonderful chocolate cookies. Tell us about them.
Summer Kates:
My mom and I, we’ve always been in the kitchen baking. The whole reason Summer’s Project started was I was with my best friend and I was like, “Let’s do a bake sale and just give whatever money we make.” So we had just a bunch of just store bought stuff, and then some of our homemade chocolate chip cookies out on our backyard. And we were just selling stuff. We donated maybe $90, but it was just the thought that counted. And we just got such amazing feedback from our chocolate chip cookies. And we just came up to the idea. Yeah, people want to give back to a reason, but it’s just an extra nice little treat to have a cookie on the side too. And so it just circled around this idea of these giant chocolate chip cookies. And they’re just amazing.
Scrappy Jackson:
They’re huge.
Summer Kates:
They’re ginormous.
Scrappy Jackson:
I’ve seen a picture of them.
Summer Kates:
Yes.
Scrappy Jackson:
I don’t need three cookies. I only need one of yours.
Summer Kates:
Oh yeah. They’re giant. And if you pop them in the microwave, it’s just perfection.
Scrappy Jackson:
And you put some sprinkles on them too?
Summer Kates:
Sometimes.
Scrappy Jackson:
Okay. I saw the one with the sprinkles. Very nice. Very nice.
Summer Kates:
Oh yeah.
Scrappy Jackson:
Yeah.
Summer Kates:
We have a few different flavors going on now, but our chocolate chips are our OG originals.
Scrappy Jackson:
So you go from the front lawn, making these wonderful cookies, and what was the next step?
Summer Kates:
Next step was it just started baked sales, annually. And then we started to get some recognition from the community and we started getting events. So there was a few breweries that accepted us to just set up a table, and just have posters out. And people could come up and I could explain the story, and then people could choose to donate. And there’s been a few farmer’s markets. And then as word kept spreading, there’s just more opportunities opening up. News segments started reaching out, some radios. So it just all slowly grew because of the community.
Scrappy Jackson:
And you’ve raised how much to date?
Summer Kates:
To date, it’s about roughly over $21,000.
Scrappy Jackson:
I’m giving you a high five, Summer. A high five through the podcast. You go, girl. That’s awesome. So you’re off to Florida State. How are we going to keep this cookie thing alive? How are we going to keep it cooking?
Summer Kates:
So my little brother is hoping to follow in my footsteps and we’re taking a different approach. Because we’re so focused on kids are our future, and instead of circling around the hospital, we’re hoping to bring it around the environment and bettering our environment around. And in general, just helping the future.
Summer Kates:
And so not only is he hoping to follow in my footsteps, but I also don’t plan on stopping this.
Scrappy Jackson:
Good.
Summer Kates:
I plan on helping hospitals around Florida State University, and obviously still helping Golisano because I just love them. So it won’t be as big of a thing as it has been, but I definitely don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
Scrappy Jackson:
Why can’t we take it global?
Summer Kates:
I mean, why not? Got to work our way there.
Scrappy Jackson:
It’s a wonderful thing. It’s a wonderful thing. So your mom, very strong. She’s empowered you. In many respects you probably empowered her, one way or another. And your dad. So tell us about your mom.
Summer Kates:
Yeah. When I was hit by the car, she was pregnant with my little brother. So it was just hard for her because there’s times where she couldn’t be in the room with me just because she was pregnant. So I do think it impacted her a lot. Just not being able to be there every single step of the way almost. But I feel once we started up with the cookies, it was not only was it a moment for us to work together and just have that bonding moment. But it also brought us together with doing something that we both love to do,
Scrappy Jackson:
Very nice. Very nice. Youth philanthropist of the year, 2021. How special is that?
Summer Kates:
I can’t even have words to describe it. It was just such a surreal feeling, getting that award.
Scrappy Jackson:
Okay. And Summer, what advice would you give to yourself when you were a freshman? Looking back on the four years?
Summer Kates:
I just want to say just never give up, because I would’ve never imagined I’d come this far. And once I received that award, I was just like, wow. If I gave up, I would never have received this.
Scrappy Jackson:
That’s your advice to yourself. Now at graduation, if you had a chance to make a speech, what kind of knowledge would you give your classmates?
Summer Kates:
That’s tough. And I want to take inspiration behind another speech that a kid had talked about. It was mainly about choosing your own path, because we could all be told that there’s only one direction to go in life. But realistically, every direction you choose has many pitchfork-like paths to it. So I just feel there’s just so many opportunities and you just have to choose what fits you best.
Scrappy Jackson:
What are you going to study at Florida State?
Summer Kates:
Right now, I’m in advertising. That’s what I’m going into.
Scrappy Jackson:
You should consider communications and broadcasting because you’re amazing.
Summer Kates:
Thank you. Communications did cross my mind and I know majors always change. But right now advertising is where my head is at.
Scrappy Jackson:
Go to the football games. They’re amazing.
Summer Kates:
Oh, I will.
Scrappy Jackson:
Amazing experience. Definitely. Definitely. Any shout outs, your friends of yours? Because I know this wasn’t a solo effort. You and your mom did big things, but I know you had some help.
Summer Kates:
Yeah. If I were to give a big shout out, it’d be to my best friend Kylie, because she was there for me for my very first bake sale that started Summer’s Project. So she’s just been a shadow throughout this whole process of Summer’s Project. And so I just want to say thank you for that.
Scrappy Jackson:
Okay. And you want to share any of your handles, your social media handles?
Summer Kates:
Yeah, sure. I mean everything should just be Summer’s Project. So Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. Just type in Summer’s Project and it should all just pop up right there.
Scrappy Jackson:
On the radio, I give big hugs through the telephone. In the podcast, I’m giving you hugs, Summer. You did amazing things. You’re going to continue to do amazing things. We got nothing but love for you.
Summer Kates:
Thank you so much.
