Sealy, Hunter Farms Partner With Young Queens To Help BCH

June 05, 2007

THOMASVILLE – Sealy and Hunter Farms are contributing to the fund raising efforts of the Little Miss Thomasville Queens to help boys and girls in the care of Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina (BCH).

Sealy in Trinity is donating 30 mattresses to ensure children living at BCH’s Mills Home in Thomasville have a good night’s sleep. Hunter Farms in High Point is giving 75 gallons of ice cream to help them stay cool during the summer months.

“This is just another example of the queens’ outpouring of love and concern for our children,” said BCH’s Thomasville Area Family Services director Lynn Garner. “We are blessed by their support and the generosity of community friends such as Sealy and Hunter Farms.”

The Little Miss Thomasville Queens are chosen annually through a special pageant. The local pageant serves as an official preliminary to the Little Miss North Carolina competition. The young queens range from ages four to eighteen. Each year, the five girls wearing the crowns use their reign to help children living at BCH’s Thomasville campus by organizing numerous fund raisers. Last year the group raised $28,000 in funds and beauty products collected specifically for girls at Mills Home.

Since 1885, Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina has helped children and families. BCH began with one campus, Mills Home in Thomasville, but now provides services in communities across the state.
