Elizabeth Grave hasn't added a story.
Ilsa Clare Grave, age 7, was chosen to represent the Central States in the 2015 AUSMiss National Pageant, July 8-12 in Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Ilsa is from Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, where she enjoys reading, catching crawfish on the rocky lake shore and bass fishing with her dad. She has a love for animals and hopes to be a veterinarian AFTER she wins the Bassmaster Classic.
Like any young girl, Ilsa still thinks she can do anything she wants when she gets older and who are we to stop her?
This fundraising campaign will help Ilsa reach her fundraising goals for the trip to Florida! Thanks so much for your generous donation and Ilsa can't wait to share her pageant experience with you through photos, videos and cards!
Ilsa will use her fundraising dollars toward many aspects of the pageant event including:
-Entry Fees
-Sponsorship Pages ($400 each)
-Wardrobe Expenses
-Travel Costs
-Community Service Projects
Why Pageants?
Being in pageants isn't only about beauty and wearing pretty dresses. Pageantry teaches girls many life lessons like:
**Building Self Confidence**
Girls who enter beauty pageants have to learn how to be social and confident amongst other girls, sometimes hundreds of other girls.
**Communication and Interview Skills**
Pageants require onstage and off stage interview skills. Young girls and ladies must learn to speak clearly and purposefully with the judges who are trained to test their communication skills. Winning the best interview of the pageant is one of the most rewarding moments in a pageant weekend.
**Community Involvement**
Most pageant systems require a certain amount of community service to qualify for the awards. This is a chance for girls to learn about the struggles in their community and in the world, but it also gives them a chance to give something back to the community that supports her. This is one of Ilsa's favorite parts of pageantry, helping others.
**Poise and Grace**
Can you imagine walking across a stage in front of hundreds of people wearing a full length ball gown and heels? The poise and grace that Ilsa will learn from pageants will translate into her being able to take command of any room by showing her confidence and grace. Not with attitude and loud voice, but with poise and grace.
**Scholarships**
Yes! The AUSMIss is a Scholarship Program! Girls have a chance to win amazing scholarships toward the college education of their choice! Who knew that poise, grace, and interview skills could get you there!!!?? Oh wait! That is exactly what gets you there! Having great communication skills, poise and grace is just what it could take to get Ilsa into the school of her choice. Now, the AUSMiss can help support that goal!
Thank you for your time and generosity!
Love, Ilsa Clare Grave
