I got to meet with my sponsor, Rob from Hometown Meats. Being able to thank him in person for all he has done for the city of Inver Grove Heights and for me and the Inver Grove Heights Scholarship Program was really special. Without his support I would not have been able to achieve such amazing things through the program and to grow as an individual. I got to go down to the food truck and eat some really good food at Gertens. I had such a fun time. Thank you so much to Rob and Hometown Meats for their sponsorship.

For my second service project, I completed Relay for Life with my school! With my team, “Got Hope” we raised money for the American Cancer Society. I raised $200 towards my team’s goal of $1000. My school’s goal was $10,000, which we successfully raised! Aside from raising money, we spent the night at our school, on the turf, pulling an all-nighter, to signify that cancer never sleeps. It was so fun to rally with my friends and school, and get together with community members who are suffering or are survivors of cancer. I can not wait to volunteer with Relay for Life again, to honor those that I do and don’t know who are suffering from cancer

On August 2nd, 2018 I visited my sponsor CBL Floors for the 2nd and final time. I gave my sponsor a Hershey bar for a gift as a Thank You for sponsoring  me. This was an added Thank You to my prior gift of a framed picture of when I was crowned and a candy dish. It was really fun to see my framed picture on their show room floor. I learned that my sponsor is really fun and supportive. They were there at my coronation when I was crowned and were really fun and nice to work with. It is really funny, that while visiting I learned I love hard wood floors!

As Miss Inver Grove Heights, one of my duties is to complete three service projects. For my first one, I created something I call Comfort for a Cause. Through this I sewed therapeutic rice bags. They are made from 100% cotton flannel and filled with enriched rice. They can be used hot or cold and are a non medicinal alternative to painkillers. Although they may not have the same effect they still provide comfort. I made these and I donated them to the Minnesota Oncology Woodbury Campus Chemotherapy rooms for patients receiving chemo. I also sold them and raised over $300 in which I donated to the American Cancer Society and the Angel Foundation. I am still selling them and I hope to continue this project. I am so excited to see where it goes!
