Today I attended the first annual Queens for a Cure Benefit Pageant founded by two amazing young ladies. Victoria Knight and Kennedy Miller formed Queens for a Cure after a friends mother passed away from breast cancer. Inspired by the love of their own mothers, they wondered if they could do something to help prevent more daughters from losing their mothers. Queens for a Cure raises money by holding the pageant event and donating proceeds to breast cancer research. The Supreme titles encourage participants to go out into their communities and raise additional donations.
