I am excited to represent Central Florida Speech and Hearing Center as a model in this year's fashion show!
The goal for the event is $141,000, which means each model's goal is set at $3,100. The model with the MOST votes at the end of the night will be named the 2017 Woman of the Year! So, a full thermometer does not mean it's over. I need your help, VOTE AND VOTE OFTEN! Help me raise funds to support this amazing cause!

This amazing cause is near and dear to my heart. My younger sister, Cassie, began having chronic ear infections at the age of two. By the time she was five, she underwent her first surgery (of six) to begin the repair and reconstruction of ruptured ear drums, mastoid bones, as well as the removal of an cholesteatoma tumor. Throughout periods of chronic otitis media, she was only working with 40% hearing. This, of course, affected her speech, as the infections occurred when she was learning how to talk. She attended speech classes provided by the public school. Cassie had her last surgery when she was 12, and thankfully, hasn't had any further ear problems.
When I see all the services Central Florida Speech and Hearing Center provides, and that so many of their patients require subsidized funding, I want to do everything in my power to help them meet their fundraising goal. Will you help me? Go! Vote Now!
