Join Ashley's Pageant Journey

Story

Hello family, friends, and donors! As many of you know, I am an actress and now beauty pageant queen. I have been a professional performer for 10+ years now, and I entered the pageant world last year as a nod to my younger self. Younger me had a dream of being in a pageant like Miss USA because it was something that I enjoyed watching with my mom. I thought the women were superheroes because they had such great impacts on the world. Participating in Miss Texas USA 2024 as Miss Panther City was my dream come true, and I was mesmerized by how exhilarating it was and how many individuals touched my life in the process. My mission is to compete in another pageant this year, and to take myself on a trip abroad as a celebration for new milestones. I would like to ask for your help in getting me to this goal. For those interested in my platform while during this pageant, here is a glimpse: I am very passionate about philanthropy and advocacy. My platform is to bring accessible arts education to those with disabilities, illnesses, and other underrepresented communities. --> I like to spend my time volunteering at hospitals to achieve my goal of accessible arts education, and I am an Ambassador for Epilepsy Awareness with the Epilepsy Foundation of America to promote advocacy for those experiencing seizures. My goal is to raise $5,988 by October. Below you will find a cost breakdown of the expenses: -Training: $1,200 ($300 per month) -Makeup Stylist: $850 ($425 for 2 days) -Hair: $525 -Gown: $800 -Competition Outfits: $1,548 -Pageant fee: $395 -Ad Page: $250 -Manicure/Pedicure: $120 -Hotel Cost: $300 TOTAL: $5,988 Thank you so much for any help that you can provide! I hope that you will support me on this journey! Many of you like to purchase a $5 cup of coffee to treat yourself. By contributing your coffee purchase toward my cause, you could greatly help me out. Or perhaps you have expendable cash in your miscellaneous fund in your monthly budget. Whatever amount you could donate toward my fundraiser would be truly appreciated. Thank you again for your help!
