But the tide has turned and I need your help. You know how much of my time I give to the Miss America Organization, and the passion my Mom and I funnel into our prelim, Miss Thousand Islands. You've seen how proud I am of my titleholders, and how crazy I get around pageant time. What you probably don't know is that while we run our organization as a not-for-profit venture, we do not have non-profit status, and so it's hard for us to raise funds to do what we do. People still see us as a beauty pageant, even though we pay out all our awards in scholarship money, writing checks directly to colleges or lending institutions.
We happen to be celebrating our 50th year as an official local in the Miss America Organization, and we started to think about 50 Miss Thousand Islands, and the sisterhood created by this unique group of talented, high-achieving, and yes, beautiful women. So over the next year, until we do crown our 50th Miss TI, we will highlight what we're calling The Golden Sisterhood. And we're kicking off the campaign with a huge fundraiser that could possibly alleviate a lot of fundraising woes over the next year.
Behold, our Golden Sisterhood t-shirt, which we are selling now to benefit our scholarship fund. It features the Miss America crown logo on the front, and our local logo on the back:
It will be printed and distributed through CustomInk, a very reputable online printing company that I've actually used for my BHS shirts before! It comes in unisex, women's and youth sizes, and I can attest that the shirts are very high quality.
All of these girls have already orderd theirs!
So here comes my personal plea. I know you may not necessarily count yourself as a pageant fan. You probably don't have a daughter or a sister who's competed with us. You may not have a litle girl on your Christmas gift list obsessed with princesses and anything with a crown on it. But, if you know me, and you care about me and what I care about, would you consider clicking on the link below, and buying a tshirt to support our Golden Sisterhood campaign? I know these ladies would appreciate it:

We only have 21 days left and then these Golden Sisterhood shirts will be gone forever. If you want, this can be
Your oversized sleep shirt, your XBox Champion shirt, your lawn-mowing shirt, or what you dye your hair in.
I don't mind! I just hope you'll help us continue our mission to encourage achievement in young women. Thanks!
My hunger is big; my personality is bigger!
