Update/posted at 7:15 p.m. Saturday: This notice was posted on Electric Daisy Carnival's Facebook page for its Chicago event: Chicago, thank you for an unforgettable first night!

Never again will Karen Sebring underestimate the power of one little girl making a great big difference, not after watching her 9-year-old daughter Alaina go door-to-door in her Shorewood neighborhood to collect money for Oklahoma tornado victims. “She had come home from school and was watching the news,” Sebring said. “She got the idea. She felt bad for the kids trapped in that school. She went into her bedroom and came out with a sign.” Alaina’s sign read: “Can you spare a dollar for the tornado victims?” She took the sign, recruited her grandmother, Rachelle Ward, as her personal escort and started going door-to-door asking friends and neighbors for help.
