E-mail from Caitlin Brunnel

Hey Tim of the PageantCast,

I just wanted to take a HOT second and share with you all what’s happening with Caitlin’s Closet and me.

On Monday April 14th I partnered with Children's Hospital in DC and Once Upon a Prom to give out gowns to patients. It was a small but very special event. In life the little things count and this event was a HUGE impact on these teens life and also myself. There were teens still hooked up to IVs trying on gowns! It was an emotional day. Wish you could have been there to see all the smiling faces!

Well my amazing Texas MAOT/MAO Family held the most impressive and HUGE Dress Drive and Dress Give Away for Caitlin's Closet! All the contestants rallied together and decided to give back big to Texas teens in need-by bringing in gowns to there spring meeting! Then school districts and organizations across the great state of Texas came and were able to pick up gowns to take back to teens in their area! IT was AWESOME! The Texas organization collected over 2000 gowns!!!! This is just another example of what truly the MAOT organization is all about...GIVING BACK and working together to make a difference. We some time get lost in our daily lives but it is awesome to unite with other teens and work together. Thank you to the board and staff of Texas MAOT/ MAO and Molly- Miss Texas and Callie - Miss Texas Teen for leading the way. Y'all are the best!

Our last big Dress Give Away of the season was held in Loudon Virginia with the Women's Junior League and Prom Wishes! It was so exciting! Over 10 high schools were invited and over 300 girls came to get a gown, shoes, make-up and accessories! I was able to meet and hang out with some amazing new friends. I was in the fashion show and MC'd with Rebecca Lee editor from SEVENTEEN Magazine!

Rebecca invited me to visit her at Seventeen the next time I go to NYC. Wow! While helping others fulfill their dreams one of my dreams is coming true, visiting Seventeen.

All leftover gowns were shipped to Texas and West Virginia Agencies and schools! All together over 5000 gowns have been collected and given out in 10 States!

Over the past year Caitlin's Closet has grown tremendously. With this growth many additional hours of hard work and lot's of money has been needed to keep up this wonderful dream. Thank you to everyone who has sent gowns, volunteered and made monetary donations to Caitlin's Closet- couldn't have done any of this without your help! Thank you - Thank you

If you would like to know how to become a part of Caitlin's Closet or to make a monetary donation please visit www. CaitlinsCloset. org.

Together we can make a difference!!!

xoxo,

Caitlin

MAOT '08

MISS TEXAS ORGANIZATION TEAMS UP WITH CAITLIN’S CLOSET


Contestants collect over $300,000 worth of prom gowns
Over 2300 special occasion dresses were collected during a dress drive hosted by Miss Texas and Miss Teen Texas on behalf of Caitlin’s Closet, a non-profit organization which collects gently worn prom gowns and distributes them to girls who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend their proms.

38 Miss Teen Texas local titleholders and 40 Miss Texas local titleholders showed up at the Burleson High School in Burleson, Texas with bags of dresses under their arms on the first Saturday in April. These young women will go on to compete in the Miss Teen Texas and Miss Texas Pageants this July.

Caitlin Brunell, the daughter of NFL player Mark Brunell, founded Caitlin’s Closet in 2006 when she was fourteen years old. “I wanted to do something to help other teens,” Caitlin said. “I realized that every girl should be able to attend school events and feel good about herself, and I thought I might be able to help make that happen.”

Caitlin has sponsored events in Washington, D.C., Virginia, Florida, Nevada and Texas, and is planning to host more collection drives in California and Kentucky this year. She will distribute those gowns during prom season at events in Oklahoma, California, Florida, Texas and Virginia.

From Angela's blog: Welcome to my blog!

WOW! That reads a bit weird to my eyes but I have had numerous request to start one so here it goes! Enjoy!




I won the title of Mrs. North Dakota International on April 19, 2008 and am still in awe given the wonderful, amazing and accomplished women I competed against that I was given this honor. I will do my best to represent all of the women of North Dakota with strength, integrity and passion.


The main goal of my blog is to post appearance photos, updates and most of all to share information on my platform of Domestic Violence. As a survivor of Domestic Violence I know first hand the struggle, horrors and fear that come with living the best kept secret in our homes.

From K Street Kate blog: Miss Maryland Galaxy Pageants

I had the pleasure of co-hosting the inaugural Miss Maryland Galaxy Pageants yesterday in Germantown, MD with Miss Maryland USA 2007, Michae Holloman. National titleholders, Miss Teen Galaxy, Miss Galaxy, Ms. Galaxy, and Mrs. Galaxy were also in attendance.


The pageant was produced by Half Past Six Production company, and was the hippest (and most efficient) pageant I have seen, with highly energetic music and super fast show flow. Can I say that my favorite part was that we were out of there in under two hours, including photos after the crowning? Oh yeah, and I absolutely love making young women into Queens, too!!
