Bounce Back!

I mentioned before that one of my main goals as Miss Maryland is to fundraise for the Children's Miracle Network, which not ONLY helps kids maintain healthy hearts, but helps millions of children around the country recover from all sorts of injuries and sicknesses.

So, it is with excitement that I tell all of you about Bounce Back!

I'm teaming up with Brenda's Body shop to do a series of fun, dance-based fundraisers designed to involve my entire community in supporting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and Cindy's Fund (a local non-profit dedicated to helping Garrett County, MD residents who are battling cancer).

With a theme of "helping others bounce back to health," the project uses colorful balls in tons of events throughout the fall season. Dance performances, an Autumn Glory Parade float, a photo contest, and a Christmas tree decorating extravaganza are just a few of the activities we have planned to raise money :)

I love Bounce Back because it's really providing a way for the community to make a difference in the lives of adults and children who are facing health and wellness challenges. It's also literally getting kids and their parents up and moving through dance, which we all know is a great way to exercise and stay heart healthy. 

Businesses are also supporting the project by pledging to become Bounce Back sponsors or by buying bags of balls for their employees and customers!
