Testimonials are paraphrased.
"Crissy I just want to tell you that when I heard your queen's testimony, that was me up there. You are fighting the bullies, and the internet bashing, and all the negative things that girls go through. The girls inspired me so much at your pageant, that I felt like a BIB winner when I left!"
"Thank you for everything you do for my daughter. She has learned so much and I have seen her grow and mature since she has been going to your BIB."
"Crissy, I hope you know how special you are. My daughter had such a low opinion of herself because of the mean things girls can do. But you helped her confidence grow. You gave her a safe place to open up and that made her see she is valuable. Thank you!"
"Crissy, thank you for putting on such a wonderful event. It was so well organized and it ran so smoothly. All the girls I talked to said they were having so much fun all weekend. Regardless of the outcome of the event, I knew that my daughter was already a winner when she put on her dress in the dressing room and she said, "I look just like Miss Texas! I feel so beautiful!" That was the most wonderful moment. She felt so confident and wonderful! Her inner beauty was shining through all because of you and this event! Thank you! I will always remember this. You are such a blessing to these girls."
"Crissy, all the work you are doing for our children is priceless. You really are touching their hearts, and ours too. You make me believe that there are good people in this world with values and a great heart to help others without getting anything back. We went to our friend's little sister's birthday party. She turned 4. When she blew out the candles, she went and got a stick and handed it to her dad. She asked him to play "Miss Inner Beauty" with her. So, he held the stick like a microphone and asked her "What does inner beauty mean to you?" She said "That I love my dad very much." She learned this just by going to the pageant and seeing her older sister do this. You are not just helping the contestants, we are all getting the inner beauty message that we have forgotten due to these hard and busy times that causes us to put our priorities in less valuable things. Thanks for reminding us that we have a lot to offer inside to make ourselves and others happy."
"All of you did a great job Saturday! If I have a daughter, I can't wait to enter her into BIB!"
