Contestants Needed

The Ms. Wheelchair Pennnsylvania pageant is looking for participants for this year's pageant.

Miss Wheelchair America is a program of advocacy for women with disabilities. Each state that participates in the program selects the woman that they feel is the most accomplished and poised to represent their state in the national pageant.

The duties of a state Ms. Wheelchair include speaking about her chosen issue (or platform) and any other disability-related issues to schools, colleges, local government, civic organizations and clubs. The winner must also represent her state at the national pageant, held in July of each year.

The requirements to become a contestant are simple: be between the ages of 21 and 60 and use a wheelchair or scooter for 100% of you daily mobility. Marital status is not a consideration. The contestant must also pay the entrance fee, either on her own or with the help of sponsors.

The Ms. Wheelchair Pennsylvania pageant is looking for contestants to become Ms. Wheelchair 2007. The pageant is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of March 29th. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible and I will put you in touch with the people you need to talk to.
