Many of you are familiar with the U.S. Dream Academy because of its founder and Miss America's Outstanding Teen board member, Wintley Phipps. Wintley travels hundreds of thousands of miles each year, fundraising for his organization. He uses his oratorical and musical gifts to call attention to the plight of the children of incarcerated parents. The after-school "Dream Centers," located in eleven U.S. cities are havens of security and learning for six hundred boys and girls ... and they need our help!

In the spirit of the Season and "MAOTeen Gives Back," MAOTeen Chairman of the Board Donna Bozarth would like to challenge each of you to take a moment and give a donation of at least $10 (more if you can!) and ask ten of your friends/family to do the same. Let's see if the MAOTeen family can fill this need.

Please click on the link www.mydreamleaf.com and make your donation. While you are there, watch the short videos ... you may see someone you know! Then share this message with all of your family and friends. If you have Facebook or other social media sites, there are instructions to help you place the link on your sites. There is great power in numbers. Let's use our numbers to help the U.S. Dream Academy!

Thank you to each of you for your continued participation and support of the Miss America's Outstanding Teen organization. You are a valued friend and MAOTeen family member!
