Hello Everyone! Welcome to my campaign page for the Miss Earth USA "Beauties for a Cause" charitable giving challenge!
ABOUT ME
I am a community activist and goal-oriented achiever passionate about strengthening the places I call home. Through my platform, Fueling the Future: Feed People, Not Landfills, I work to reduce food waste and support families facing food insecurity.
My education and career goals in academia are driven by that same desire to empower others through knowledge and service. I am an honors student currently pursuing my MA in communications.
Outside of my advocacy, I love spending time with my horses, exploring local markets, and finding new ways to live sustainably. Whether in the classroom, the community, or the stage, I strive to lead with purpose and create meaningful, lasting change.

CAMPAIGN INCENTIVES
Miss Earth USA and the B4ACUSA Foundation offer various incentives as I campaign for fundraising.
Make a gift to help me get closer to the following goals:
● $150 - Entered into monthly drawing beginning in September to receive sponsored gifts
● $350 - Minimum goal for all delegates to raise by January 2
● $550 - Scholarship level 1, includes modeling in the Ignite the Runway Competition during national pageant activities on January 2. Qualified participation also includes consideration for a level 1 scholarship (one $500 award per division). Includes one general admission / backstage
female chaperone guest ticket to the gala. Additional guest tickets may be purchased.
● $850 - Scholarship level 2, includes all of the above, as well as level 2 scholarship consideration
(Junior divisions grand prize $1,500 across all divisions)
● Highest fundraiser who has not been selected to the SEMIFINALS by judges will automatically
earn a spot on stage at the final pageant, regardless of overall scoring. If the top fundraiser has
already been selected by the judges, the position goes to the next highest fundraiser.
NOTES
1) The annual giving campaign benefits Miss Earth USA’s official 501c3 organization (B4ACUSA) - a not for profit entity registered in the state of Virginia.
2) The giving campaign does not affect overall scoring; however, any delegate who does NOT reach the minimum fund raising requirements will be ineligible to receive awards or become a finalist.
3) Spotfund makes all contributions directly to the nonprofit. The donor receives an email
receipt. The fundraiser receives an email notification of the gift. The donor has the option to remain anonymous.
CHECKS
In the event a donor must submit a paper check for the giving challenge, please note the following.
● Spotfund manages all contributions for the challenge and tracks the candidate leaderboard. While appreciated, a check mailed to the Beauty for a Cause nonprofit headquarters will not be accurately tracked.
● A check can be made payable to Spotfund Technologies, and mailed to:
Spotfund Technologies c/o Miss Earth USA Accounting PO Box 1595
New York, NY 10028
● Candidate's name and title of the campaign (Miss Earth USA or Beauties for a Cause) should be included on the memo line of the check. It is important the donor includes a note with the name and email of the donor, so Spotfund can correctly account for the contribution and send the donor a receipt.
● Checks must be received by December 15 to process in time for consideration in the fundraising incentives and minimums.
