August 13, 2008 - The Gratitude Collection© is showing their gratitude to the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Organization, a little sister of the Miss America Organization, by supporting them as a sponsor.
The Miss America’s Outstanding Teen program is scholarship-based and allows young women to showcase their accomplishments and awards the most outstanding young women with college funds. The organization not only promotes scholastic achievement, but also community involvement, creative accomplishment, and healthy living.
When Deanna Collins, co-founder of The Gratitude Collection©, was introduced to the organization, she fell in love with its mission. “They promote self esteem, family, education, and community. We feel that through this alliance we can truly accomplish our goal, which is to introduce young women across America to the benefits of positive thinking and a practice of gratitude,” says Collins.
Founded in 2007, The Gratitude Collection© is a line of jewelry and apparel that reflects the benefits of positive thinking and the acts of gratitude and thankfulness.
"I'm thrilled that The Gratitude Collection© has taken an interest in the Miss America's Outstanding Teen organization. I feel we are two companies that promote positive opportunities for young women and together we're making a difference," said Kim Parrish, President of Miss America's Outstanding Teen, Inc.
"The state representatives for MAOT are going to love their gifts from Gratitude! The jewelry and shirts are so beautiful and they will enjoy wearing them. But most importantly, I know they will help to spread the message of the company and share the Gratitude philosophy." Parrish continues.
The 2008 competition will take place August 12 – 16, 2008 in Orlando, Florida. For more information on the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Organization, please visit http://www.maoteen.org/.
