Olivia B. NAM Nationals Competition
Donation protected
Friends and family - many of you saw our recent post on Facebook about Olivia.
She recently competed in the National American Miss pageant for Indiana. When I asked her why she wanted to do the pageant she said, "I want to prove to myself that I can do this." She willingly stepped out of her comfort zone and placed her beautiful introverted self in front of hundreds of people.
One of her hopes was to qualify for the national competition this November in California and she did it by placing third in photogenic!! To say she was excited was an understatement.
NAM's mission is to grow confidence and teach real world skills to young women. It's a wonderful pageant that is family focused. One of our favorite things is that Eric gets to escort Olivia on stage during the formal wear competition.
Here's a link if you'd like to read more about their vision: http://www.namiss.com/namiss/about/
Each contestant is encouraged to seek out sponsors who will support her journey. Asking and receiving support helps build a confident mindset that encourages her during this leg of the competition.
It's a philosophy of community, something that NAM is passionate about.
So.........we are off to nationals and hope to raise support for her required entry fees.
We are humbled to ask friends, family and businesses and know that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Olivia.
Everything goes toward her expenses:
$950 Entry Fee for pagaent
$175 Entry fee for photogenic contest
$250 Required dress & Shoes for show
$125 Tickets for her to participate in the special VIP events with the whole NAM group.
All sponsors will be listed in the Pageant yearbook/magazine. We will include your name and any words of encouragement.
We can also send you a receipt as this qualifies as a donation.
Our deadline to submit all donations is November 15th.
**If you'd like to donate on behalf of your business, it is $75 for a business card size space in the book. Larger ad spaces are available as well. Feel free to contact me for more information. Julie [phone redacted]
Thanks for your help and support of Olivia! This will be something she'll remember forever so thank you for being a part of her adventure and making this dream come true.
