Miss Vermont USA 2014

Dear,Fellow friends, family, and community members


I am pleased to inform you that I, Gina Bernasconi, have been chosen as a contestant to compete in the Miss Vermont USA 2014 pageant. I am a 19-year-old Para educator at Founders Memorial School in Essex Junction, Vermont. I am currently working towards my Bachelors Degree in Special Education. I volunteer at Fletcher Allen Hospital on the pediatrics floor. I also volunteer at The Sustainability Academy in Burlington where I help educate refugees. I have recently completed a 1200-hour Spa Therapy program and am now a certified Massage therapist. This is my second year in the Miss Vermont USA pageant. With my past experience as a burn victim my pursuit in life has changed tremendously. I am now an advocate for those with disabilities, special needs, and all those whose lives have been changed through trauma. I believe this opportunity to become Miss Vermont USA will give me a chance to become a role model and reach out to those in need.

In order to compete I must raise $1,200 for fees and expenses. This includes: pageant entry fee, production cost, hotel reservation, and meals throughout the weekend. The only way this is possible is with your help. With every donation I am one step closer to competing in the Miss Vermont USA 2014 pageant and achieving my goal.

Any amount you choose to donate toward my journey to become Miss Vermont USA 2014, will be most helpful, and greatly appreciated. I am thankful for your dedication and encouragement. Without you this could not be possible!

Sincerely,
Gina Marie Bernasconi
