Did you know our director was once a patient of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital?
Miss AnnMarie was diagnosed with a rare hereditary blood disorder at just 15 years old after experiencing a major medical complication. While many people associate St. Jude primarily with childhood cancer, not many realize the hospital also treats patients with blood disorders, immune and infectious diseases, neurological conditions, and genetic predispositions.
Before becoming a patient herself, AnnMarie was already a strong supporter of St. Jude, inspired by friends who had battled childhood cancer. In high school, she was given the opportunity to join the St. Jude Leadership Society, where her passion for advocacy and service continued to grow.
Today, she serves as the state’s pageants liaison, using her platform to educate and empower young women about the impact of giving back. Through her journey—from supporter, to patient, to leader—she now shares firsthand the opportunities and blessings that come from supporting an organization that changes millions of lives every day.
