Welcome home Miss USA

Miss USA,  Rima Fakih celebrated her homecoming with family,  friends and fans alike yesterday in Metro Detroit.  Her day began early in the morning with a news interview followed by an intimate breakfast with her charity of choice The Pink Fund, receiving the key to the city, more interviews and a Homecoming Gala during the evening.  With a busy day and a tight schedule you’d think this young lady would get tired,  but not Rima! 

We had the opportunity of meeting her on two occasions yesterday and her tender heart and gentle smile was heartfelt and genuine no matter how busy she was. During her speech at her Homecoming Breakfast in honor of The Pink Fund, Rima spoke like one of the girls drawing each and every supporter in with each word she spoke.   We found her natural ability to reach out to the crowd made it easy for her to connect with those who support her selected charity.

Rima is an ambassador for The Pink Fund, which is a non-profit organization that gives financial help to both men and women who suffer from breast cancer. During her Homecoming Breakfast, she spoke to The Pink Fund supporters and told them why she choose the local, non-profit organization as her charity of choice.  She explained that she was looking for a small local charity that wasn’t well known that needed the help.  ”I’m going to use my crown for something good”, said Rima.  During her speech she continued to say, “I’m Miss Michigan, I’m not Rima Fakih anymore, I want to milk it”.  “And now I’m Miss USA and I keep my promises”.  When the crowd heard Rima’s words, several crowd members had tears in their eyes as they so proudly cheered and applauded her statement. It’s obvious Rima is eager to use her crown for unselfish purposes.  She is geared and motivated to help others by using her title.

It’s no question The Pink Fund will benefit from this wonderful opportunity and it’s also no question Metro Detroiters are excited and proud to stand behind their newly crowned Miss USA.
