Sweeter 16 | -- A project that shows how one sixteen year old can make a big difference!

Olivia Iafrate is turning 16. She's decided to throw a glamorous party, and invite all of her friends...just like a certain MTV show we all know and love. However, Olivia has decided to take all of that glitz and glamour, and use it for GOOD! Welcome to A Sweeter 16, a project designed to raise money for an important charity through the celebration of a very special 16 year old! Click here to learn about Olivia and her Sweeter 16!
