The W.O.R.T.H. Project

Kalie Wright has been traveling across the magic valley over the past year sharing her platform, The W.O.R.T.H. Project: Salute, Serve, Succeed. Not only has she been promoting service, but she recently awarded a student from Shelly, Idaho with a scholarship because of her commitments to live a life of service. Shateal Murphy is this year's winner of a $1,000 scholarship, and she will be featured on Miss Magic Valley's website. To find out more information about the W.O.R.T.H. Project or how to donate to the scholarship fund, visit kaliewright.org.

The YEAH Program


Miss Nampa, Sarah Downs, has been involved with a program at St. Luke's - the YEAH Program. The eight week program for children ended a few weeks ago, and in Sarah's words, "The kids did amazing!" Each week for the program students went to one hour of exercise education and then one hour of nutrition education. Sarah specifically volunteered with the nutrition education.To end the program they had a party with games, prizes, and lots of (healthy) food!

Sarah said, "The YEAH Program (Youth Engaged in Activities for Health) runs in the fall and spring in the Treasure Valley and promotes healthy activities all year long. As a volunteer, I got to help the children understand what healthy eating means, what foods to avoid and which ones to snack on, and that they should never be on a diet...they should just live healthy lives all the time!

I chose this program because my platform is Promoting Nutrition: Taking Back Our Health. Programs like these all over the state of Idaho exist, and they work wonders with children; their minds are like sponges!"

Relay For Life




Sierra Sandison, Miss Pocatello, formed a team in memory of her best friend for the Twin Falls' Relay for Life. Her friend, Mari Neiwirth, passed away April 2nd from Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma, which is a rare form of liver cancer.

In honor of what would have been Mari's, Sierra set the team fundraising goal at $2,200 for her 22nd birthday on April 5th. After planning and holding pre-event fundraisers, as well as the having the overwhelming support from friends and family, Team Mari not only reached their goal, but exceeded it by almost $1,000. By raising over $3,000 for the American Cancer Society, Team Mari received both the Rising Star Award and the Bronze Team Award.

Sierra said, "I can't believe what a huge success Team Mari turned out to be! It wouldn't have been possible without the help from the Neiwirth family, my parents, and everyone else who supported us. I had so much fun, and am I looking forward to doing it next year. I miss and love you Mari and I hope you are proud! We will never forget you."
