96.3 DVD Cares for Kids Radiothon & Freedom Walk

My past few weeks have been insanely busy! On 4/30 I graduated from Oakland University with my Communication degree and on 5/10 and 5/11 I had my last dance recitals! Wooooooo-hooo I have been busy, but I love it.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. I will miss being a dance teacher!

On Thursday, 5/12 I attended the 96.3 WDVD Cares for Kids Radiothon to benefit Children's Miracle Network, our Miss America National Platform. I answered phones & gathered donations for a few hours and also go to visit with pediatric patients at Beaumont Royal Oak (my favorite part of the day.) I found the experience to be heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time and walked away feeling appreciative for being blessed with good health. This year I've raised over $1000 for CMN through the CMN/MAO partnership! :)

With my good friend Brenna, Miss SCS

I've been able to do several visits in the past 2 years and each time I feel grateful for organizations like Children's Miracle Network, which help local families at our 4 CMN hospitals in Michigan alone.

On Saturday, 5/14 I attended the Freedom Walk to benefit the Kirsten Haglund Foundation. As a former Miss Oakland County, I am extra proud to support the Kirsten Haglund Foundation--Kirsten is Miss America 2008 and a former Miss Oakland County as well. Her foundation provides resources & hope to women struggling with eating disorders. For more info, check out her site: http://www.kirstenhaglund.org/

After the walk, I met with my awesome ED Shelby & her husband Kevin to do a mock interview. Thanks Shelby, Kevin & Veets for all of your help and insight!

XOXO, Angela
