May is For Miracles--CMN Fundraiser

One of my first donations of the morning

May is for miracles! The month of May is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Children's Miracle Network--which inspired me to hold a fundraiser of my own. Today I raised money for CMN at Kroger in Rochester Hills. I shared information about CMN and passed out my pictures to kids...it was a great day and I feel great knowing that I generated funds for such a worthy cause!

96.3 WDVD Cares For Kids

On Thursday 5/6 and Friday 5/7 I attended the 96.3 WDVD Cares For Kids Radiothon at Royal Oak Beaumont! All proceeds from this radiothon benefitted the Children's Miracle Network, which is our national platform in the Miss America Organization. I was able to make visits to CMN kids on both Thursday and Friday along with some of the other titleholders. We had a wonderful time meeting these kids!

Here we are at Beaumont's Children's Garden. The entire garden was paid for by CMN dollars. It is space for kids to feel like they are really outside...there's sunlight coming through the windows and a ton of activities for the kids to do. I loved seeing exactly what CMN does to touch children's lives and I am so proud to be a part of this organization!

28th Annual Hunger Walk

Dogs can walk to fight hunger too! Here's my new friend Taco Bella.

Today I volunteered at and participated in the Hunger Walk of Oakland County! It was held at the Lighthouse of Oakland County in downtown Pontiac. I walked four miles and helped raise funds to end hunger. I had a great time at this event sponsored by Genisys Credit Union! Thank you to Linda Z. for inviting me!

Brownie Meeting

On Thursday 4/22 I visited a brownie troop and spoke about my platform, Empowering Youth. We talked about ways to stay healthy and take care of ourselves. Then I talked about the Miss Oakland County pageant and showed them my talent. The girls had some great questions for me. I had a lot of fun spending my afternoon with this group!

Speaking at the Kaplan's

On Saturday 4/17 I was invited to speak at the lovely Kaplan household for about thirty of their friends. I spoke about my journey as Miss Oakland County and what exactly the Miss America Organization is all about: style, service, scholarship and success! The audience had great questions and it was a great experience. Thank you to Lisa & Steve for inviting me!

Cinderella's Closet

Last weekend I (along with my teen) traveled to Bellaire, MI to work with Cinderella's Closet. We started our Saturday off with a luncheon with a few other queens-- Miss Bellaire and Miss Mancelona. Then we went to Cinderella's Closet for prom consultations!

Cinderella's Closet works like a library where girls can 'check out' dresses and accessories for homecoming or prom. We were able to consult with girls going to prom and we had a great time! It was so cool to see the looks on the girls' faces as they found a dress they really loved. A big thank-you to Debbie for having us. This was an incredibly rewarding experience and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it.
