A message from a fellow alum:

Calling on my fellow alumni! ❤️
I took a chance on myself and entered Next Runway Star, and that one courageous decision has somehow taken me all the way to the Quarterfinals!
Right that end Aug 28th. Now I’m in 2nd place, and only #1 advances to the Semifinals. And TODAY votes are doubled, so this is an incredible opportunity to help me get back to #1! 🔥
This journey is also supporting RISE and its work for sexual assault survivors, so there are several ways to make an impact:
❤️ Cast your FREE daily vote
❤️ Cast charity votes to support RISE
❤️ SHARE this with ONE person and invite them to join us
I believe in the ripple effect of one person choosing to help another. Maybe together, this alumni community can help make one more dream possible. ❤️
Fan votes determine who becomes the Next Runway Star.

To our Mustang community,
After having to share so much heartbreaking news lately, I was hoping we could shift the energy on our page. It would be nice to bring a little positivity and something uplifting to our community to create a space that reminds people there’s still joy to celebrate, even after difficult moments.
Please feel free to share any good news, your and your family’s accomplishments, or even fun plans for this week.
