In each issue of fourpoints, we like to provide local and state pageant volunteers with fundraising ideas that are a good for each program, whether it is a new idea or a time-tested classic fundraiser. One reader and local pageant volunteer took our scholarship ideas to the next level.

“You have featured a variety of articles that have encouraged us local directors to think outside the box to raise scholarship money,” says Tracy Olson of the Miss Gloucester County pageant. “Due in part to that encouragement, this past March, I took on the challenge of a local fundraising program entitled Dancing with the Gloucester County Stars.”

The program, run by the Chamber of Commerce, takes six Gloucester County notable figures from the community (3 women and 3 men) and gives them an opportunity to dance for their cause. Tracy chose the Miss Gloucester County Scholarship Organization, a local preliminary to the Miss New Jersey Education Foundation.
