"The Angel Fund"

One of the most rewarding things you gain with being involved in pageants is the gift of learning about MANY charities you had not known about before and being able to volunteer with them. “The Angel Fund” for instance is a charity I was blind to before I was asked to participate in a fashion show fundraiser for this charity. I was anxious to find out about “The Angel Fund” and all that is stands for, it’s always great to learn about a new charity and ways you can do your part to help out.

“The Angel Fund” is a charity that raises money to help families who give birth to a still baby, or have lost their child immediately after birth. With every penny this organization receives, they use it to make treasure boxes for those families. Inside of these inspirational boxes are memories of that baby from the last nine months, and more. Also inside of the treasure boxes is the child’s footprint, handprint etc. With these boxes those families who have encountered such a tragic loss are allowed to always remember their child and what he looked like!

It was such an honor to be involved in the fashion show to help raise money for those who have lost a child. This is a charity I will continue to be active in! And I am grateful for the opportunities being Miss Connecticut Teen USA has to offer because with out the tit I may not have ever found out about this admirable organization.
