Help Miss Virginia go BALD to Cure Kids Cancer!

Miss Virginia, Tara Wheeler, will go BALD for a cure. She has partnered with the St. Baldrick's Foundation to raise money for pediatric cancer research. If she raises $500,000 by April 11th, she will shave her head! To donate visit http://stbaldricks.org/participants/shavee_info.php?ParticipantKey=2009-339663#. In addition, 25% of the money raised will be divided 50-50 between the Children's Miracle Network and the Miss Virginia Scholarship Fund!

** Since the $500,000 was not reached on April 11th, due to stipulations, Tara could not shave her head as Miss VA. She will, however, continue to fundraise and plans to shave after crowning the new Miss VA this summer!
