An Awesome Year To Remember

 

Click here for my farewell video

     Hi, my name is Emma Manetta, and I'm your Junior Miss Southern California for 2014.The platform I chose was Orange Coast Memorial Cancer Foundation. The reason I chose this platform is because my mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2008 and continues to fight today. The Orange Coast Memorial Hospital has kept her alive for 7 years and I want to thank them for all their help. My goal was to raise $12,000.00 by the end of my reign. As of today, I have raised $12,150.00! I did a lot of fundraisers to achieve this goal. My favorite fundraiser was called the Honor Quilt Project. I sold white quilt squares and you would write or draw on them to remember someone who either lost their battle against cancer, survived or continues their fight today. The hospital was so supportive that I even got to be on channel 2 and 9 news.

     Throughout the year I got to do many events and I also gained another family. My favorite event was Relay for Life. I loved this event so much. I walked for 24 hours and the different laps were so fun because you got to get dressed up for them. I would like to thank my court for making this a wonderful year and for being so supportive of my goal. To the kings and queens thank you for making this an amazing year. Thank you Ms. Maryam and Ms. Sarah for making this a wonderful year and for letting me make a difference in my community. Thank you, mom and dad, for being so supportive. To my successor, always have fun and be happy. This will be a year you will never forget.  Cherish every moment that you have.

Sincerely,

Emma Manetta
