Ronald McDonald House

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of traveling to the Ronald McDonald House in Brookline, MA with the Massachusetts queens to deliver DVD's and cards that were collected the weekend of the state pageant. The staff on site was incredibly friendly and grateful! Unfortunately, there were no children or families there to greet but we got invited back. It was such a gorgeous day- I'm glad most of them got the opportunity to venture out- my family knows all too well what it's like to be cooped up inside while you're sick or taking care of loved ones.

On Sunday, it was off to Nashua, NH for Consultation Day with the NH-MA Queens! We discussed nationals, the year's events, and finished with a photo shoot that was incredibly fun! It's going to be a busy couple of weeks preparing for nationals while continuing my passion for blood cancer awareness- time is flying by but I am incredibly excited!

Woman of the Year Fundraising

I spent the majority of this past weekend raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and promoting my passion for blood cancer awareness. It was quite the success! On Friday, my board of directors (mom, sisters, best girlfriends) set up a table at an event in Walpole, MA. We had a 50/50 drawing & raffled off a few prizes such as a wine & cheese basket, a Red Sox blanker, and a lottery tree. I'm quite confident we got every single person in the room to buy a few tickets!

We didn't stop there! Saturday morning was the 1st annual "Crawl for a Cure" around Faneuil Hall in Boston. I planned this event for 125 people to spend the day with food, drinks, and their family and friends. Although it was a rainy afternoon, we enjoyed each other's company while raising money for a great cause! "Crawl for a Cure" will definately be an annual event.

I have a few more events planned in the upcoming weeks to continue fundraising for my Woman of the Year campaign. I'll keep everyone posted with details!
