Miracles for Children's Hospital

May is for Miracles


Throughout these last few weeks, my days have consisted of appearances, fundraisers, road trips across Louisiana and of course the gym! Last month I celebrated "May is for Miracles" by continuing to raise awareness and funds for Children's Miracle Network.  Each event will touch your heart as it did mine.  Let me share with you  these heartwarming experiences. 


Hospital Visitation

First, I had the opportunity to visit Sutton's Children's Medical Center in Shreveport.


The very first friend that I made was this absolutely precious little baby girl.* She had quite the obsession with Dora!






Hidden among all the girlie girls and crowns, I found a little Prince.



A special card for a special little guy, who was unable to join in with Arts and Crafts.

Children's Hospital of 
New Orleans 
   Annual Golf Tournament



Raffle Tickets - the staple of all fundraisers!


Tony Chachere's - Now ya' cookin'!


Thank you Grandpa for the driving lessons


Wishing the players "Good Luck" as they set out to the golf course was my favorite part of the day.



Beautiful Golf Course!

 Thank You Daddy!


A Big THANK YOU to Children's Hospital 
for inviting me to present the 
Miss Louisiana "Big Check" and the opportunity 
to promote the service of the MLO with 
Mr. Norman Robinson! 


-Being just a small part of these events has enriched my life and it has been an honor for me to participate. How lucky would I be if I won the title of Miss Louisiana and the opportunity to continue working on behalf of such a wonderful organization.  What a blessing!
