Trash Cancer Party at Binghamton University!!

Hey! So as some of you may know, today I hosted a Trash Cancer Party!  
A Trash Cancer Party is an educational party about the dangers of certain chemicals in the products we use every day!  It was such an amazing event, and I am so happy that we were able to bring this event to Binghamton University!  I hosted the event with my sorority, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi Colony and MALIK Fraternity at Binghamton University and it was so nice!

We really want to give a BIG Shout-out to Cancer Schmancer for helping us with everything, and for posting on their twitter and facebook accounts!  
Hosting this event was so amazing because I was able to educate people about the dangers of products they are putting into their body, and putting on their body, and ways that we can avoid cancer causing chemicals!  I am so honored to be working with Cancer Schmancer, and representing them by hosting this Trash Cancer Party!

We all had such an amazing time and I personally cannot wait for another opportunity to work with Cancer Schmancer, they really do so much to help educate people about being healthier! 

  If anyone would like to donate to our Trash Cancer Party, all proceeds to go Cancer Schmancer! Just have your Credit Cards ready and text "SUNY" followed by the amount of your donation (e.g. SUNY 10) to 27138.  You will receive a phone call where you can enter your credit card information!

Video I made to personally thank Cancer Schmancer and Fran Drescher for all of their help! 
(The special video is still being worked on!)

I will definitely put up the video that Sigma and MALIK make once it is finished! Thank you to everyone who attended the Trash Cancer Party at Binghamton University, and to all of those who donated both time and money to make this event possible!

Peace and Love Always,

I just wanted to fill you guys in on everything that has been going on!

Yesterday, I walked in Fashion for a Cure at Chabad at Binghamton University, and it was such an amazing experience! It was so nice to be on stage again, and with that, I am so determined to win Miss Long Island 2013 in August!!!

I am currently working on a few community service projects, I am holding a Trash Cancer Party for Cancer Schmancer on March 25th at 2pm.  We will be hosting the party to inform those here on campus, that they could potentially be harming themselves with the kitchen chemicals they are using, and letting them know what to look out for! This should be a hit!!!

I am working with another student at Binghamton University from Delta Epsilon Mu to host a walk for the American Diabetes Association!  As you know, I was Team Red Captain for last years walk in Johnson City! I am so happy to be apart of the planning for this walk happening at Binghamton University!!

&& last but not least! 

I am working to hold a walk on Long Island for the Latex Allergy Association!  This hits close to home because as all of you probably know, I have had my latex allergy for 5 years now, and I still dont think people understand the seriousness of Latex Allergies.  The only way for people to understand is through Awareness and Education about the seriousness of Latex Allergies.  Together we can save lives!!

So I've got a TON going on and if I am not able to post, I do apologize! If there are any suggestions about any of these events, PLEASEEEE let me know, I am always available for ideas that maybe I didnt think of!!





I also recently did a new photo shoot for headshots, and here are those pics!!!! =]
































Thank you all for your continued love and support!!!! <3

Sadness Surrounds Commack

Tonight, I wanted to talk about something from my home town. 

Unfortunately, there was another suicide from Commack High School this past week, This has become an epidemic, and it needs to end!  I am reaching out to all of you to sign this petition to Allow Suicide Prevention into Commack High School.  The school thinks that if they discuss it, they will be glorifying suicide, I believe it is the opposite!  Over the last 5 years, 17 students from Commack High School have died, and the majority of them took their own lives, I think it is time that we allow a form of education and awareness into the school system. 

The name of the Petition is: Allow Suicide Prevention into Commack High School: Educate the students, and find ways to prevent this alarming result.
The petition was created by Victoria Modica and we need more signatures to show the Administration that there needs to be some sort of awareness!

Please, even if you are not from Commack, or never even have heard of Commack, Sign this petition and bring awareness to Commack High School!
