Miss Utah Week

4th runner up - Hanna Christenson and myself - 2nd runner up

Thank you all for the support and love! I am not Miss Utah this year but I am so honored to have won the Miracle Maker award and Swim preliminary once again this year! The Miracle Maker award is given to the contestant who raised the most money for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. I was able to do that because of the people in Davis County! Also I walked away as the 2nd runner up. It was a great accomplishment and I will receive much needed college scholarship money. One of the largest volunteer groups and service opportunities is the Miss America Organization. I am honored to have participated in the program. I sure love the Miss Utah Organization- Thank you to my friends family and my new amazing friends I left with! And a big thank you to the Miss Utah family for all you do!! I love each and every one of you! I will be doing a service project in the next month that our community can become involved with - not as a title holder but as Ciera Pekarcik :) Stay tuned for more!

This isn't Goodbye - I just got started!

           It is finally here - Miss Utah week. I want to thank all my supporters, the community, my sponsors and my family! This year has been a lot of fun and exciting work as well as big learning experience. I am passionate about what the Miss America Organization can do for the young woman, our community and anyone who chooses to be involved. I have been able to raise over 1500 dollars for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (aka Primary Children's Medical Center in SLC) because of your contributions as a community and involvement in service. I have done over 500 hrs of service myself through several events I organized as well as those of others! For the chance to become involved - I thank you. The email list that was started just 3 months ago has grown to over 50 followers! This blog alone has had over 1500 views! None of this would be possible with out you.. YOU! Thank you! I love you all and will continue to promote service the rest of my life. I know what it can do for each individual and for a community. If any one would like to participate in the upcoming Miss Utah events the information is below! I hope to see you there - I'm not done yet :)

Utah Davis County Children's Justice Center Golf Tournament

I'm very passionate about what the Utah Davis County Children's Justice Center does. They are a resource for Davis County families with children who have been sexually abused. Their Center provides a comfortable,child friendly environment where highly trained professionals talk with the children about what has happened to them. The Center provides medical care for abused children, crisis counseling for their families, and provides a forum for case staffings between investigators and prosecutors. Over 400 Davis County Children were seen at the Center last year.I have been on the "Friends board" at the Davis County Children's Justice Center for the past two years. I have been able to work with some amazing people as well as create different fun ways to raise money for the CJC. This morning, bright and early, was their annual Golf Tournament.

This is one of my favorite events - I was able to participate last year as well but the weather was not nearly as nice. 

Ernie, the owner of Schneiders Bluff, and myself get along really well! 

This is one amazing man.

.. and he taught me a few tricks. 

Although the Utah Davis County Children's Justice Center Golf Tournament was a lot of work.. we made some time to play as well :)
