CMN Radio-thon
The Children's Miracle Network asked me to speak about cystic fibrosis and my daughter, Hayden, at their annual radio-thon on KYX. I am always more than thrilled to have an opportunity to educate people about CF so I jumped at the chance!

Salvation Army Ribbon Cutting
The Salvation Army of Enid, OK asked me to come be a part of their ribbon cutting ceremony for their Spruce Up a Life event. This was such a wonderful event. They had a room full of un-decorated Christmas trees. People would come to purchase a tree and adopt a family for Christmas. They would decorate the tree and donate it, along with gifts and other items to a family in need. I was so thankful to have the opportunity to learn about this wonderful program.
America Diabetes Association Walk
The American Diabetes Association asked me to come and sing the National Anthem at their walk this year. It was at the Oklahoma City Zoo which is such a wonderful place to have a walk. They had many people come out to support the cause and I was happy to be a part of it.
The ladies of the Edmond Jazzercise were on hand to warm everyone up before the walk!
Edmond Mayor's Prayer Breakfast
It was such an honor to be a part of the Edmond Mayor's Prayer Breakfast. I sang the National Anthem as well as "How Great Thou Art" and sat alongside former First Lady Kim Henry (who was the current First Lady at the time) and Edmond Mayor Patrice Douglas. It was an inspiring morning and Mrs. Henry's speech was one I'll never forget. For me, this appearance was truly one of the main highlights of my reign.
CFF Golf Tournament
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's annual golf tournament took place at Gaillardia Golf & Country Club this year and I was asked to be the speaker at the event. I was able to talk about my daughter Hayden and about she lives with the disease. I also showed a video I put together about her that explains what the disease is and what it's like to have it be a part of your everyday life. The event raised over $100,000 for CF research and I was honored to be a part of it.
Derby Day at Remington Park
Remington Park asked me to sing the National Anthem at their Derby Day and what an honor that was! It was aired on tv stations inside race tracks all over the country. One of the horses from the movie Secretariat was even there! I also had the opportunity to judge the hat contest again which is always so fun.
No, I am not wearing white tights.
