I still get nervous watching this! Miracles Happen! 

American Cancer Society Jewel Ball 2013

Happy 100th Birthday to the American Cancer Society! It's only fitting that we celebrate, considering that the ACS is the "official sponsor of birthdays." In the 14 years that I have been involved with the American Cancer Society, I have always been impressed with the caliber of services they offer to cancer patients and their families. A diagnosis of cancer can be bleak for the patient and their loved ones, so the role that the American Cancer Society plays is invaluable.

On September 7, I was invited to the American Cancer Society's 4th Annual East Bay Jewel Ball to hand out cupcakes after dinner. It was amazing to see how many people came out for the event and how much they were supporting the ACS. I even ran into one of my good friends, Miss San Francisco 2013, Heidi Cheung, whose Miss America Platform was the American Cancer Society! It was a fantastic night and I'm so honored to have been a part of it.

LEAP into Literacy!

"Literacy Empowers all People"

It has been just over one month since I was crowned Miss California and my title blesses my life every day. I am so excited to unveil my fall project, the LEAP into Literacy Book Drive! The goal is to collect 1,000 books for the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco, which serves 1,000 kids every day all over the city. So take a few minutes to clear off your shelves and bring your extra books to a drop-off point this month!

Our first collection is taking place at:

St. Isidore Elementary School Library from September 12-13

More drop-off times to be announced soon!
