Thanks to our generous sponsors and community members that came to the event, we will be able to donate over $1,000 to Victoria’s Voice - the nationally recognized platform of the Mrs. America Pageant (
www.victoriasiegelfoundation.org)!
The event took place at the Peg Bond Center in Batavia, Illinois on a very hot Saturday, July 30th. There were over 40 people in attendance and events included Nicole sharing her personal platform, The Ripple Effect - the Positive Impact of a Drug Free Life, and how her personal experience of losing a family member to a heroin overdose this past February has motivated her to support the initiative to reduce drug experimentation,
addiction, and overdose death through prevention, treatment, and recovery research and efforts. Nicole also prayed for those currently suffering or recovering, as well as for a safe event, and sang the National Anthem! The 5k Run/Walk started promptly at 10am and the first place male and female finishers were crowned the winners with a crown or tiara!
After the run, Miller’s Ale House (Aurora location) provided a delicious lunch for all participants and volunteers while we listened to the musical talents of Drift Away Live. Nicole even sang a few songs with them! Silent Auction items were a big hit and many donations came in to support the cause. Glancer Magazine was
also present to cover the event, so keep a lookout for a feature in next month’s magazine!
