Shayla at IHOP on National Pancake Day (Perrysburg, Ohio location).  Over $1,000 was raised for CMN at this location! Thanks, generous donors!

Shayla fell in love with this little Miracle Child, too sweet!

The girl has an amazing gift of gab.  She loved walking around and talking with everyone and wasn't shy about promoting CMN, her platform and asking them to consider making a donation to CMN.  

Shayla Thomas loved helping out at the fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network at IHOP yesterday. With help from these three title holders, over $1,000 was raised for CMN at this Perrysburg IHOP. (They were trying to help beat last year's nation-wide record of $3 million dollars!)  CMN is the official charity of the Miss America organization. Money was collected for Mercy Children's Hospital in Toledo. (Christi treated at two CMN hospitals and with Dr. Jasty at Mercy's in Toledo. 

Ironically, the sweet CMN representative with us at IHOP on Tuesday had the name of Kristi!  (Yes, complete with the i ending; I knew it was a "Christi moment"!)  

I loved listening to Shayla talk about Christi to the patrons as she promoted CMN. So, so sweet!  I know Christi is proud!)  Have a great weekend!
