CentraState Seeking Ball Queen Contestants
Queen Contestants needed. Young ladies at least 16 of age can win scholarships, fulfill service hours & particpate in community events,parades and a fashion show!
CentraState Healthcare Foundation is seeking contestants to participate in its 52nd Celebration Ball Queen Contest. The contest is open to young women at least 16 years of age. The Ball Queen Contest will follow in the same tradition that began in 1962. Young women from the area are encouraged to volunteer to be Queen Contestants and after retaining a sponsor (usually a civic organization or local business), work to raise money for the hospital fund.
Last year’s contestants collectively raised over $30,000 for CentraState’s Cancer Navigator Program. The monies were raised in various ways, including community dinners, car washes, and letter solicitations. The contestants also participated in an evening Fashion Show, complete with DJ, runway, gift auction and fabulous fashions. This year, contestants will be challenged to raise money for CentraState’s Women’s Health Center. Each dollar raised will count as one vote. The contestant with the most “votes” will be crowned Ball Queen at the Foundation’s annual Celebration Ball on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at Encore Event Center in Freehold.
All Queen Contestants will receive tiaras and sashes. Prizes are awarded and range from make-up, designer bags, Pandora jewelry and scholarships. A total of $3,500 in scholarships will be distributed. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a contestant, would like to sponsor a contestant, or would like more information, call CentraState Healthcare Foundation at (732) 294-7029.
