Hello, my name is Rebekah Bushey and I am raising money for MissMount Washington Valley Teen scholarship event. I was lucky enough to be part of the event as a teen from 7th grade to 12th grade. I have been in full support of the event every year, whether by being in attendance at the event, helping spread the word, or by helping the director prepare for the event. This year, I am showing my support for the event by representing the scholarship event as I compete in the valley Ms. Pageant. Valley Ms. helps raise awareness and money for many invaluable nonprofits. Since fundraising and awareness is a huge part of Valley Ms. I hope you’ll consider donating to help support my efforts! And please share!

Background on Miss Mount Washington Valley:

The Miss Bartlett Pageants were started in 1990, in celebration of Bartlett’s 200th Birthday. The goal was to produce an event where young ladies could learn and practice valuable life skills while participating in the excitement generated by a Pageant. This is NOT a beauty pageant!! Contestants are judged on their poise, confidence, public speaking and interview abilities. There is an optional talent competition, with a separate panel of judges, but there is NO swimsuit competition.

In 1995, the event was expanded to include young ladies from throughout the Mount Washington Valley. Our participants now encompass those towns whose students attend Kennett High School and Fryeburg Academy. Scholarship money is awarded to the top three finishers, and for outstanding salesmanship. This year we will award nearly $2500.00 to those fortunate teens for their college careers. That will bring the total money won by contestants since we began this program to over $60,000.00. To date, over 200 teens have participated in this program. This number does not reflect the many who have joined us year after year. Among our past participants are business owners, teachers, military officers, hair stylists, medical professionals, mothers, and so much more… This is the 37th year of the event!

Thank you in advance!
