"I chose to work at HIP because I like what HIP is doing. They help the people who need it the most." Jamie Tompson said when asked why he decided to do volunteer work at HIP. Jamie Thompson came to HIP as a 7th grade student at Thomas Russell Middle School in Milpitas. He is now attending Santa Cruz University on an Honors Scholarship.

He first started volunteering for HIP at the age of 12 and returned each year to fulfill his school community service requirement. His favorite color is orange and favorite animal is the tiger. He enjoys snowboarding and playing basketball. He also enjoys collecting things: especially rocks, coins and game cards. Jamie is a serious Viking fan, as is his whole family. They never miss a game. Jamie is a valued volunteer who has assisted with brochure production, file maintenance, and Accounts Payable. He worked with a team of volunteers from HIP setting up for the 1999 Silicon Valley Charity Ball. The work that Jamie does is greatly appreciated. Hurray for Jamie!
