CMN IHOP National Pancake Day

     On February 28th, My princess (Trinity Cruz) and I spent time at the International-Drive IHOP collecting donations for Children's Miracle Network. IHOP restaurants graciously donated a free stack of pancakes for each costumer and encouraged a donation toward the CMN Hospitals. I enjoyed making pancakes with Trinity and interacting with customers! Each customer who donated $5 received a large paper balloon. It was remarkable to see the numerous balloons that were plastered throughout the IHOP walls!

Thank you IHOP!

My princess is just the cutest at making pancakes!

Our collected donations for CMN after just 10 minutes!

High Tea with Amelia Grace McDonough, Little Miracle Maker

 On Sunday, February 12th, I attended a High Tea with Miss Florida 2011: Kristina Janolo, Miss Duval County 2012: Kalli Kearney, Merissa Amkraut, and the "Miracle Maker" Amelia Grace and her family at the Ponte Vedra Lodge! Amelia Grace raised $1,100 dollars for Children's Miracle Network by asking for donations outside of Publix, selling candy bars, and asking her relatives to donate! As a reward, Amelia Grace got the opportunity to have High Tea with Miss Florida 2011 and Miss Florida's Outstanding Teen 2011! I had such a fun time getting to know Amelia and her family. Thank you so much for raising money for CMN!

This was Amelia Grace's poster she made to raise money for CMN! So inspirational!

East West Shrine Game

On Saturday, January 21st I attended the East West Shrine Game held at the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. Since 1925, the Shriners East-West Game showcases the outstanding football athletes across the nation while supporting the Shriners Hospitals for Children. There was a tailgating event before the game with numerous Shriners, some patients, volunteers, and fans. Each event that I attend with the Shriners, I gain more appreciate for there dedication to the kids at the Shriners Hospitals. I feel so blessed to be a representative for this organization.

Mitch and Robert. Both Shriners!

The game!
