We raised about $500 dollars to donate to the National MS Society for the MS Walk. The weather was beautiful while 20 teams battled for first place of the 1st annual MS Tennis Tournament. I am going to start working towards a spring tournament that can hopefully be bigger with some awesome prizes! I am so thankful to have such giving and wondrful people in my life that were willing to take time out of their days to help me raise funds and bring awareness to my platform!

Tournament for Multiple Sclerosis

Getting ready to go to bed because I have to wake up early tomorrow morning for a tennis tournament that myslef along with RJ's at the Racquet club at the Bakersfield Racquet club are hosting to raise money for the annual MS Walk. I am so happy to be making this happen, and I am so thankful that my work is helping me hold this event at the racquet club. I give great thanks to Jeff who works/ gives lessons to tennis players at the racquet club and my bosses at RJ's, Russel Carter and Jason Cox for helping me so much with this tournament. RJ's is already involved with the MS society a lot so of course it was an easy decision for them to help out. I am so passionate about my platform so it is so wonderful to have people I care about get involved!
Anyway lol the tournament is tomorrow and the theme is "Tall Small Tournament" meaning that it's  two a team consiting of an adult 19 or over and a child 18 and under. It's a great way to get adults and kids out there enjoying the fresh air and getting a work out in as well. Not to mention raising money for a great cause. I couldn't think of a better way to do so.
If anyone wants to stop by the racuet club downtown located off of Truxtun and Pine to donate, checks may be made payable to the National Musltiple Sclerosis Society. I am hoping I can raise a ton of funding. Also, if you do come by RJs is located there as well so grab some awesome grub too!!!!

Multiple Sclerosis Walk fundraiser

Last Monday Miss Teen Bakersfield Madison Swaim and I were at Cold Stone in the Market place here in Bakersfield dipping ice cream and mixing it for cutomers! When customers who brought in a special flyer, Cold Stone would donate %20 percent to the MS Walk.

This event was not only spectacular, it was delicioud as well! As a volunteer I was able to have whatever "like it" size of ice cream I wanted. Although I took a rain check for the ice cream, I did get to try a sample of the sweet cream ice cream which was awesome.


It felt good to be helping out at a fun event for my platform. looking forward to many more funraisers coming up soon!!!! : D
