Congratulations to our Miss Division winner, Katie Marak!

More than just a pretty face, Miss Indiana's Outstanding Teen Katie Marak proves just that with her organization, Katie's Kreations. Katie handmakes and even sews her own creations to sell, where all proceeds are donated to Riley's Children's Hospital. You will soon be able to find some of Katie's unique items for sale on our sister website, Ashley Rene's Online, so stay tuned!

Katie is passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and encouraging others to volunteer and we hope she inspires you to do the same! Good luck to her as she pursues her future modeling and pageant career - We're sure it will be a successful one!

The Pageantry Spirit Award was created by Pageantry Magazine to award girls across the nation for promoting the true spirit of competition, character development, friendship and positive sportsmanship. We feel these qualities are something we strive to promote not only within our contest, but in our everyday lives. We know that our essay winners have had a powerful and positive influence on the lives of those they've touched through their volunteer efforts, and are proud to have them as Ashley Rene's 2009-2010 Pageantry Spirit Award Winners!
