To get more involved in her community, Jessica volunteered her time serving dinner to widows and orphans at the local Old Timers Supper. She helped serve supper, helped clean up, visited, and then took pictures. Jessica had a lot of fun spending my time with people less fortunate than herself! They served barbeque sandwiches, beans, slaw, and lots of desserts! Everybody seemed to have a good time. This event is sponsored by Masons who help out the community alot! They do coats for the cold, help out needy families whose house may have caught on fire, whose kids may not get any toys for Christmas, or buy people groceries. Jessica is n very proud of my community and enjoys helping our neighbors!

Special Olympics Tennessee partners with The American Girl Doll Company each year for a fundraising event. This event includes 4 fashion shows where young girls ages 6-10 model outfits that match the time period of the doll they are representing. This is a fun event for the community where they serve “tea party” style snacks. Proceeds from sponsors, an auction, ticket sales, and donations go to support Special Olympics in Tennessee.
As one of the emcee’s of this year’s event, Madison had the privilege of introducing the various dolls and the models. American Girl dolls are rich in history and tell a unique story. This introduction included describing the time frame in which this doll lived, describing her clothing and what life was like where she lived. As emcee, she engaged the audience in learning about the history of the dolls and actively engaging them in the show.
When she wasn’t on stage, Madison loved being able to walk around and simply provide encouragement for the young girls who served as models with the dolls. She was also able to serve as a greeter and talked with young guests about NAM, American Girl Dolls, and Special Olympics.
There was much work to do to prepare for the event. Madison learned a lot about the history of our great country. Madison said “it was a fabulous experience.” She can’t wait until the summer when she can help on the field or on the court with her favorite Special Olympics athletes.
