Help get Kelsey to Miss Missouri!
Donación protegida
Crowned in November of 2014, Kelsey Dacus is Miss Springfield 2015.
When asked why she wanted to participate in Miss Springfield, her answer was simply, "For my kids." Anyone that knows her, knows that statement refers to every single child in the foster care system, that Kelsey will claim as "her" kids, to give them a sense of belonging. Kelsey has such a passion for spreading awareness about the absolute need for foster families and adoptive families in not just the Springfield region, but all over Missouri. In Springfield, she's involved in multiple Foster Care organizations, holds a job working as a residential specialist at a residential facility for children with behavioral disorders, and is a visiting resource to two children in the Foster Care system. Kelsey is also very involved in Children's Miracle Network, Miss America's national philanthropy. CMN offers funds to children needing hospital treament, travel expenses, and equipment expenses. She visits local pediatric wings to spend time with these children and their families regularly.
Being Miss Springfield, she has the opportunity to compete in Miss Missouri, a preliminary for Miss America. There are five categories to be judged: Evening Wear, On-Stage Question, Interview, Talent, and Swimwear.
Miss Missouri does come at quite a high expense. Between wardrobe, fundraisers for her platform issue, travel expenses, talent coaching, and music expenses, it adds up. Kelsey is a student at Missouri State University, taking 16 credit hours, working two jobs, and volunteering over 30 hours a week doing appearances and working with different foster care organizations and Children's Miracle Network.
This fundraiser is to help get Kelsey to Miss Missouri. Giving a donation would help jumpstart Kelsey into reaching her end goal: Becoming Miss Missouri, and spreading awareness for the children that mean so much to her. Your donations will not only help Kelsey, but help children in the foster care system, and children benefitting from Children's Miracle Network.
EVERY donation ensures a signed autograph card from Kelsey and a personal note.
$50-signed autograph card, personal note, appearance from Miss Springfield for any event at your request.
$100 or more-signed autograph card, personal note, appearance from Miss Springfield for any event at your request, & and plaque, thanking you or your business for your sponsorship.
