Pageant Fund for Rena (my daughter)

I am excited to announce that I have been selected to compete in the National American Miss Pageant as a California State finalist during July 5th thru 8th weekend in Anaheim CA.The organization is dedicated to celebrating America’s greatness and encouraging its future leaders. We are judged on formal wear, personal introduction, interview, and the community service project (all contestants will bring school supplies to the state finals and decide where they will be distributed). The pageant also has five optional contests – talent, photogenic, casual wear modeling, spokesmodel, and actress. My plan is to enter a number of optional contests. This will allow me to showcase my strengths; as well as give me a platform to grow and improve in areas where needed. Other women who I admire (Oprah, Beyonce, and Halle Berry) have competed in pageants in the past.In addition to trophies, prizes, scholarships, cash, and awards, the pageant will help us gain self- confidence, communication and interviewing skills, and allow us to practice speaking in front of a live audience. All wonderful ways to prepare myself for whatever my future holds.I’m looking for sponsors to help cover the cost of entry fees, optional contests, outfits (formal wear – casual wear modeling – interview), along with other misc fees we will incur.This means a lot to me because it is a new experience. I plan to broaden my talents and hope to learn great useful skills from this. I’d love to have your support in this journey.
