Children’s Miracle Network Telethon attended by Teen Frisco
I had the opportunity along with my fellow MPFO sisters Kaitlyn (Teen Plano) and Kathryn (Miss Plano) to attend the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon in Tyler for the KYTX CBS 19 station. It was a great experience! Children’s Miracle Network saves the lives of so many children by raising funds and awareness for children’s hospitals and foundations throughout the world, and is also the official platform of the Miss America Organization. I had so much fun meeting with the miracle kids, and being able to help with the Telethon. It was amazing to see it all come together and I’m proud to say that there was over $601,000 raised for CMN! It was a fun day that I will definitely never forget! Enjoy the pictures!
God Bless!

“Let me win. But, if I don’t win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Miss Frisco’s view on the Special Olympics
My newest friend, Jocelyn, the World Special Olympics Silver Medalist and Grand Marshall of Ceremonies for the Lake Dallas Special Olympics, recited the Special Olympics motto in front of all of the athletes, volunteers, and high school students at the start of the games on Monday.
Although my mom and I volunteered with the Special Olympics all through my Middle and High School days and I’ve probably heard this motto over a thousand times, it struck a special cord with me on Monday. In all the times I’ve been to the Special Olympics, I have always left feeling that I received something much more valuable than the services I provided that day, and I think this motto has something to do with it.
As I stood in the hot sun with Miss Texas, Kristen Blair, and Miss Arlington, Cristie Kibler, I saw all the athletes running by with big smiles on their faces. You could hardly tell who had actually won the race! Having been a competitive athlete myself, I’ve seen my fair share of poor sportsmanship. Many times, I have seen girls’ smiles drop off their faces after placing second. But, that’s never true at these Olympics. We got to sign autographs for the proud athletes who would tell us all about how quickly they had run or how their relay team had done. Not a single athlete was disappointed in the outcome. However, one girl stood out to me. Her mother was holding her on her hip and told us how excited she was to meet Miss Texas. As she explained her daughter’s story, she said that she had cerebral palsy but was a pageant girl too! She was recently crowned Little Miss “You Can Do It!” These athletes never let anything stand in their way and have a remarkable appreciation for simply being able to participate. Another girl, Ebony, hugged me over five times during the day and had THE MOST stunning smile every time she came over. The pure happiness of these athletes is more genuine than anything I’ve ever seen, and if I could have even of fraction of their joy, then that would be success.
There are 33 girls who all want to be Miss Texas, but at the end of the competition, only one girl will walk away with the crown. Part of the reason I love the Miss America Organization is that it provides opportunities for all of the contestants to grow and pursue their dreams, but sometimes, it is hard to allow that journey to be the focus. I like to issue myself personal challenges when I encounter something inspirational. So, I want to adapt the Special Olympics motto as my own personal mindset in the days leading up to Miss Texas as well as all the days to follow. I find myself, especially lately, rediscovering one of my passions for quotes, and this one I found particularly relevant. Alex Noble said, “Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey.”
I know there is another Special Olympic volunteer opportunity available at the end of May, and I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested to attend. It is such a breath of fresh air. Best wishes to all the contestants as we move in to the final stretch before Miss Texas. I can’t wait to be reunited with everyone at the end of June!
Blessings,

Request for Prayer chain for Sumlin and Bassham families sponsors for MPFO
To all MPFO family & friends,
We would like to ask you to start a prayer chain for the family of one of our own family & sponsors, Heather Sumlin & her family.
Heather’s mother, Helen will be undergoing major surgery for cancer next week. Helen Bassham & her husband are one of MPFO’s & Miss
At this same time, Heather’s mother in law also needs some prayers. She is suffering from Acute Fulminating Fungal Sinusitis - which is difficult to treat & cure - she is unable to sleep (she’s slept 2 hrs in the last 56 - & that has been normal for her since February). Her body is resistant to antibiotics - they have tried 7 different ones & none of them are working.
Please add this family to your prayers for speedy recovery for both of these ladies.
Thank you so much!!

Frisco’s Mother - Daughter Tea attended by Teen Frisco
Frisco’s Annual Mother/Daughter Tea Appearance
First of all I hope all mothers had a wonderful Mothers Day! I had such a blast celebrating Mothers Day weekend with my mom and grandmother. I was invited by the Frisco’s Women’s League to be a guest entertainer and speaker at their annual Mother/Daughter Tea event to benefit the non-profit organization Heroes for Children. Heroes for Children is an organization started by 2 mothers who both lost their daughters at a very young age to cancer.
These moms started this program to help families whose children are facing cancer, to ensure they are being supported and have someone there to help them through tough times whether it is financially or just a helping hand. I was much honored to be asked to be a part of such a wonderful event. I didn’t really know what to expect when I was asked to make an appearance, and I was so blown away from how great it really was. It was a huge event and I am so glad I got to attend it. I was able to sign tons of autographs for all of the little girls and their mothers and grandmothers as soon as they came into the ballroom. The way they smiled when they saw a “Real Princess” was remarkable. I was also able to perform my ventriloquism act for everyone and give a small speech about myself as well. Janet St. James from Channel 8 WFAA News was the emcee for the event, which was way cool; because it is my ambition to be a broadcast journalist. I had the opportunity to ask her a few questions and talk about my dream job with her. One of the high-lights of my day was a little girl named Zoe. Of course every young girl I talked to was precious, but there was something about Zoe that made my heart light up. She came up to me with the most excited smile on her face and the whole time I talked to her and was signing her autograph she looked at me straight in the eyes in such aw that I was in her words “A Real Princess.” Throughout the entire event she would every so often come and find me and give me a hug. I realized while looking at this precious blonde haired, blue eyed little girl, that I was a role model to her. I had only known her for a couple hours, yet she looked up to me and thought I was a real princess.
That’s what the Miss Plano/Frisco Organization and the Miss Texas Organization is all about, being a good role model, and positive influence on younger generations. I am so thankful for this experience as Teen Frisco and I will definitely remember this appearance as one of my very favorite.
God bless,
Madison

Teen Plano’s spring break Mission Trip to Mexico
Hey everyone!! I just wanted to share some amazing experiences I was blessed with this past spring break!! I spent 8 days in
On our way there, we encountered several bumps in the road. It started with our youth pastor not being able to come with us on the trip due to a family crisis. However, God provided and we had amazing leaders to back him up and take care of all the details. Then, as we tried to cross the border into
After a 20 hour drive in a 15 passenger van, we arrived at the pastor’s house in
I was also fortunate enough to be chosen as a group leader and was in charge of face painting for the kids!! I specifically remember one day that I met a 7 year old girl named
When we were not with the women, children and young adults, we spent the remainder of our time painting a school and a portion of a church. Many times, however, I’m not sure if we got more paint on the walls, or on ourselves, but the end result was always good! J
It was a week I’ll never forget. Being in that environment just put everything in perspective. Even though the people we met there had very little, they were happy and that was yet another reminder to always be thankful for the things and opportunities I have. It reminded me that I should always be seeking opportunities to make someone else’s day better even by doing the simplest of things. J God did amazing things that week and I am so privileged and blessed that He chose to use me to reach out and make a difference in these people’s lives. And, as is usually the case when volunteering, I received many wonderful blessings in return.
I love you and God bless!
