National American Miss grants a wish through the MAKE-A-WISH foundation
National American Miss girls are ALWAYS giving back and making a difference. However, our National American Miss Arizona girls are making wishes come true.
The 2nd Annual Tiara Tea Party was held the weekend of Feb 6th and helped to raise money for the Arizona chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This annual event is also sponsored by the Wish for Wish Kids Organization, founded by Theresa Kyte(NAM Miss Arizona Jr. Teen 2005), who through her work with this fabulous organization has been featured and recognized in Teen Magazine for her leadership and contributions in her community.

This year, former National American Miss Arizona, Tristan Topps hosted the event. However, she wasn't the only NAM girl to get involved, the weekend was filled with entertainment by Miss Arizona Preteen, Mariah Perez, and Miss Arizona Jr. Teen Lexe Richardson. Miss Arizona Princess, Kayla Large stopped by to show her support, as well as many other NAM girls. Miss Arizona America, Erin Nurss and Miss Arizona Outstanding Teen, Kelsey Hartley were also in attendance for this big event!
However, the pinnacle of the weekend, was the crowning of "Miss Tiara Tea Party." Reanna, a 5 year old wish kid, from the Make-A-Wish Foundation who was diagnosed with lymphoma disease as a baby and has been in remission for a year took home the title. But, most exciting is that National American Miss helped to grant Reanna's wish, which is to go to South Dakota to dig for dinosaur bones!!!

The weekend was filled with much excitement and emotion, as it was truly heart-warming for National American Miss girls to see just how much of a difference they can make in the lives of others! We are so thrilled to be a part of Reanna's life and to help make all her wishes come true!!
