“I want to thank the Miss South Carolina Organization for the many opportunities that I have had to share my platform and raise awareness about brain tumors. I look forward to having more of an impact in our community as I continue participating with this wonderful organization.” - Savannah Rae Houston

The Miss South Carolina Organization created a
mentoring program for young girls ages 5-16 who
shadow a Teen or Miss South Carolina contestant
during the year of her reign which encompasses
adopting and promoting a platform and dedicating
one’s time to community service organizations. 2007 marked Savannah’s second year as a ‘Palmetto Princess’ and the promotion of her own platform “Brain Tumor Awareness”.
Savannah has assisted in hosting the “Brain Tumor Awareness” tent at area cancer events-passing out grey ribbons to raise brain tumor awareness, sharing pamphlets that inform about brain tumors, where to seek support and how to help those that are trying to raise awareness. She shares her platform with those that she meets and is learning how to communicate the need to raise awareness since the majority of those
affected face low survivability today. Through raising awareness, prevention and detection will become more available just as they have for other cancers who now celebrate a 90% survival rate.
