Queen for a Day 3rd Anniversary Celebration











Today was a most amazing day in Greer, SC where the fire fighters, police officers, bomb dog, K9 attack dog (Ca$h), the rescue squad, ems, and even the med trans helicopter came to support the Queens/Heroes for A Day Anniversary Celebration. Fire House Subs sponsored free food for the cancer children and their siblings! Dairy Queen made sure the community service workers stayed sweet! And my hat is off to Angela Singleton for heading up the SC Chapter of Queen for a Day and allowing me to be a part of it! It was truly a unique experience to see the smiles on the faces of these children. I even took a ride up in the bucket on the fire engine, about 75 feet into the air! Not to shabby for a National Queen that is extremely FEARFUL of HEIGHTS!! Nevertheless, it was a blast! Tons of photos coming your way! I will get them up asap!

Queen For A Day Donations: Cancer Care Kits

As part of my year as America's Teen, I have the priviledge to work with Angela from Queen for A Day SC. I will be working with them this year in order to crown pediatric cancer patients as queens and heroes for the day. This is such a worthy cause and I look so forward to meeting the children and making a difference.
In order to prepare cancer care kits for this organization, we collected tax deductible donations. Each kit cost $10.00. I raised $50.00 last week to contribute toward our goal of 100 kits.
If you would like more information on how to donate to Queen For A Day, please drop me a note and I'll be more than happy to forward more information!
