Southampton County Fair Pageant Scholarship

Hi! My name is Natalie Pugh and I am running for Pageant Queen for the Franklin-Southampton County Fair. Part of my responsibilities include fundraising for a generous College Scholarship and to create a project, for if I were to be crowned Queen, I would spend the next year investing my time and hard work into bettering said platform.

I have chosen to build my platform on the crisis of teenage depression and suicide. Some of the issues I hope to address and better influence, are more availability and access from student councils and therapists. I hope to raise a greater awareness of the true crisis that it is, and to let other teenagers know that they are not alone.

Being a survivor of these situations has given me a greater understanding of what one might need to persevere through such an illness.

By supporting my GoFundMe, you are helping me take the next step to become Queen and be able to share my testimony and support other teenagers like me. The fundraising aspect of this project requires a $5 minimum donation. If you are local and are able to donate, the photo attached to this fundraiser is a part of my "board." The board allows you to sign your name to share that you participated in such a great cause. If you re not local, I can sign for you! If you are a business, there is a $20 minimum and I will attach a photo of your business card, (if I can find a copy online) to my board, or you can mail me one if there is enough time for it to be received.

I thank you all in advance for your donations and support! Here's to a greater future for teens like me!
