Miss CABHAA

1st MISS CABHAA QUEEN CONTEST

The First Miss CABHAA Queen Contest is one of the fundraisers that will provide some of the monetary support necessary for the planned activities of the Association such as the 2012 Christmas Gala and scholarship monies. The winner of the title will be the person raising the highest amount of money before the designated deadline. This individual will be crowned the “First” Ms. C. A. Brown Alumni Association Queen.” There are three persons vying for this prestigious title and the winner will be announced at the Banquet being planned for in December of 2011. More details will follow as plans are finalized. There is still time to sign-up if you’re interested in entering the contest.

We are asking you to have an open heart and mind if you are asked to support any of the candidates as they solicit funds for the contest. The three individuals will be sponsoring various functions and activities and would greatly appreciate your support. Remember that the main goal is for the Alumni Association to be successful in carrying out its goals of raising funds for scholarships and community involvement activities. You can make a difference.
