We will be doing the Joshua Cade Raffle.
We are picking out the prize now. We want something that will wow the winner and raise the most money for Joshua and his family.
All of the Proceeds will be donated to Joshua Cade's Family. They are still fighting strong and need all of the support and prayers that they can get.
A routine test turned a whirlwind visit to the doctor into a journey of heartbreak and hope for one of our Pageant Families. Joshua Cade, age 4, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma on July 1, 2008 just days before their 2 week family vacation to Disney World was to begin. Josh is the youngest of 3 children. His big sister Lexi Johnson competes in pageants with many of our children. Josh has spent most of the last month in the hospital undergoing tests, numerous surgeries and chemotherapy. The following site was set up by the family to keep everyone informed of Josh's progress and steps towards recovery.

This family is in desperate need of prayers above all else!
However, many individuals have inquired about how to help in other ways. There have been raffles and special awards at pageants that are helping to raise money for doctor bills and expenses. If you feel like you need to give to this family financially, the link to Amanda's Paypal address (lexiebradyncade@yahoo.com). This is in no way a message to solicit money from the pageant community, however we know that because there is an overwhelming amount of love and compassion among pageant families we'd give you this information and opportunity to help if you're unsure of how else to help.
