Doll Promotes Cancer Awareness


Miss Ohio is teaming up with a local company to promote her platform.

Twenty-six-year-old Stacy Offenberger has partnered with the Lee Middleton Doll Company to create a breast cancer awareness doll.

When finished, the toy will be sold worldwide with 10 percent of the proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Offenberger says she helped with the design and picked the name, "Blessings of Hope."

"As a delegate for Miss USA we're required to take a gift that we think represents us personally and our hometowns. Growing up here in the area, Lee Middleton was in my backyard and I was fortunate to be Miss Ohio Teen USA in 1998 and I took a Lee Middleton Doll so I wanted to do the same thing this year, but only have a little bit of my own special touch on it."

Offenberger grew up in Vincent, Ohio and attended Warren High School. She will compete in Miss USA next month.
