90 Days til 90 Years!

I can't wait to update you on soooo many things that have happened this week/weekend, but for now, I only have time for a quick blog and I want to share this email with all of you!

Dear Friends,
Happy 90^th Anniversary!  Today, we begin the 90-day countdown to the 2011 Miss America Pageant, when we will celebrate this milestone anniversary of our beloved tradition!

Through the decades, Miss America has been woven into our culture and into the fabric of America, and I am proud to welcome in a new era with your support! I would like to personally thank those of you who are currently supporting the Miss America Scholarship Foundation. In honor of our 90th Anniversary, I would like to request from all who are able, whether current, potential, or first-time donors, to please donate $90 (or more!) to commemorate this milestone in our prestigious history. Your consideration and donation will help to secure Miss America’s presence and importance in our country’s tapestry for another 90 glorious years!

As we reflect on the past, we also look to the future. Through your generous donations, we can continue to help young women across this country pursue their dreams through education. We are so very proud of all of our Miss Americas, our contestants, and of course, our dedicated volunteers. We would like to thank each and every one of you for your friendship and support of our program, day in and day out, and for helping to preserve our remarkable legacy as we celebrate our historic 90th year.

As the economy has challenged so many across the country, our organization has also felt the economic burden, and we are now in need of your continued generosity and your support. No matter the amount, your contribution is 100% tax deductible, and it will help young, deserving women to complete their college educations, pursue their dreams and to become our future leaders.

Together, we are helping to continue Miss America's legacy of helping others through the spirit of community service, one of the brightest hallmarks in our organization today.

Please send your anniversary check of $90.00 to: 

The Miss America Scholarship Fund / CFNJ
222 New Road, Suite 700
Linwood, NJ 08221 

or donate online using a credit card here:

Please remember the words of one of the most celebrated women in history, Eleanor Roosevelt, which are still so relevant today,

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

We hope that you will continue to help make dreams come true.

Sincerely,  

Art McMaster 

President, CEO
