The Belize Heart Association is in the process of organizing several fundraising events to try to put together funding to assist the Cardiology Department at the KHMH.
One of those events is Miss Big and Sexy Pageant which will be held on the Ladyville Basketball court this Saturday.
Now "big and sexy" is not something you might normally associate with a healthy heart initiative, but the pageant organizer told us today why the public should support it:
Keisha Lynn Estelle-Garbutt - Organizer
1:46:03 "The pageant is scheduled for is scheduled for December 1. It's the Miss Big and Sexy, the first of its kind in Ladyville. And the reason why we're having it is part of an effort to revamp the Belize Heart Association. And so, the first order of business on that agenda would be to purchase a heart machine for KHMH. And that's the reason why we're having the pageant. The funds will be used for that purpose."
Daniel Ortiz
"So, tell us about the ladies. How did you actually come up with the selection?"
Keisha Lynn Estelle-Garbutt
"The girls were supposed to be from each village. I thought I would have a hard time finding contestants in Ladyville, but they found me. In a matter of days, we found everybody, and that's why we're doing it only for Ladyville."
The tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for children; they will be available at the gate and on the free bus which will transport people from Pound Yard Bridge in Belize City. The bus also be available to return back to Belize City after the pageant.
There will be a dance immediately after.
