Miss Wales supports The Joshua Foundation
Vibe Models – organisers of
the Miss Wales competition – have adopted The
Joshua Foundation as the competition’s official
charity and expect to raise in excess of £20,000 for
the cause this year.
The foundation is headed by former Welsh Woman of the Year,
Sarah Cornelius, and was created in 1998 to provide holidays
and experiences for children and their families, where the
child is diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Director of Vibe Models, Paula Abbandonato,
said: “In recent years, we’ve really directed
the focus of the competition towards charitable contribution.
Beauty with a purpose is one of the key drivers behind the
Miss World organisation, and it is something we are really
keen to follow.”

For Sarah Cornelius, the news of a
new supporter comes at an important time. She said:
“Next year will be the 10th anniversary of The
Joshua Foundation. We have come a long way in that time,
but there is still so much we would like to do. Every
penny counts, and to have new supporters such as the
Miss Wales competition, is good news indeed.” |
The winner of Miss Wales 2007 will become
an official ambassador for the charity and will be involved
in its events and initiatives both in the UK and overseas.
