So you may wonder what does it mean to be "Miss Le Rich”?
Other than amazing trips to New York City, I also have the responsibility of fulfilling the duties promoted by the brand; beauty, strength, and destiny. As a researcher in the Texas Medical Center, I decided that the best way that I can fulfill this mission is by helping spread awareness. Le Rich Couture supports cancer awareness because it has affected the loved ones of many in our organization. During the month of March and April, I attended several fundraising events that helped to raise money for cancer research and to support the people working to fight cancer. I strongly believe in the idea that you gain strength by giving strength exemplified by the many people involved in great charities that help raise money for research, support the families affected by diseases, and spread knowledge about treatment options.

On March 26th, I attended the 2011 Masquerade Ball benefiting the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. The event was put on by six amazing women from the Texas Medical Center, many of whom are medical students. These young women were able to raise over twenty-five thousand dollars for cancer research!
Ovarian cancer is really difficult to treat because your body doesn't get sick or give you any signs that you have the disease. Thus, it is very important for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund to find new ways to detect cancer so that we can treat people who need help.

On Friday April 1st, Lady Le Rich, Sarah Wenzel, and myself along with others from the Le Rich team volunteered at the 2011 Coaches Huddle at the NCAA Final Four Weekend. This year, the American Cancer Society joined Rice University and University of Houston men's basketball coaches to raise awareness in the fight against cancer. This effort is called Coaches vs. Cancer and has raised over $65 million dollars to further their vision of a world with "less cancer and more birthdays." It was an honor to be a part of this event as we helped with the silent auction, greeted guests and talked about the organization with attendees. These events are a great reminder that we can always do something to help others.
Smiling for a great cause! Lady Le Rich, NCAA coach Norm Stewart, and myself

On April 7th I attended Havana Nights with Taft McWhorter benefiting Miriam Habbib of Lexis Florist Houston, TX (Proud Sponsor of "Une Bonne Nuit Avec Le Rich") and Tim’s Leukemia and Lymphoma society. The Leukemia and Lymphoma society (www.lls.org) provides support and information about services and treatments for patients and families affected by leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. The silent auction offered beautiful abstract paintings by the very talented Taft McWhorter. It was a perfect night with a great crowd and I am so honored that I was invited to this event in support of a great support society. A very special thank you to Oliver Puzon, official photographer of the event.
The beautiful and gracious hosts, Miriam Habib and Ashlee Lee
