Ciera Nicole for Miss United States 2013
Donation protected
On February 2nd, 2013, I was crowned Miss Maryland United States. As a result, I will be representing
the state of Maryland in the Miss United States Pageant which is to be held July 4th - 7th. As the reigning
Miss Maryland, I am an active participant in my community as well as the state of Maryland and the DC
Metropolitan area. This title provides an avenue for me to give a voice to those needing to be heard, lend
a hand to those less fortunate, and be a compass for those daring to dream. My platform is youth mentorship
with a focus on inner city youth. The Miss United States organization allows me, as well as women
all over the country, to interact and discuss our achievements in service and volunteerism.
I am excited to be vying for the title of Miss United States. The Miss United States pageant is an excellent
opportunity for me to have the experience of a lifetime and make lasting networking opportunities while
continuing to be a role model within my community.
If I am selected as Miss United States 2013, I will be provided the opportunity to travel the country to
interact and promote my platform as well as assist and facilitate raising funds, increasing awareness, and
promoting local events in each state for Relay for Life in conjunction with the American Cancer Society.
This opportunity can open many doors, the possibilities are endless.
As a state title holder, we have been encouraged to inquire donations from family, friends, and community
businesses and leaders to meet financial obligation and build communication skills. As a sponsor, you will
play an important part in helping me reach my goals in competing for Miss United States 2013. Any
sponsorship donations will be used for preparation costs, wardrobe, and hotel accommodations for the
four-day, three-night program and competition.
In exchange for sponsor donation, I, Miss Maryland United States, would love to be involved in any
upcoming company events as well as programs where my appearance is a benefit to your organization.
For those who seek advertisement in the national pageant program, that can be arranged as well. For
appearance inquires as well as questions about ad advertisement, please email me at

All donations will be greatly appreciated and every penny counts.
Help me win my crown!
Thank you in advance for your support,
Ciera Nicole
