Delaware 4-H is proud and honored to host the 2010 4-H NERVF Forum, Nov. 4-7 - an incredible weekend of fellowship, education, enthusiasm and encouragement! We can't wait to meet our 4-H friends from the Northeast region! See you in November!
The Delaware 4-H community is welcomed to participate in this poignant, lighted walk designed to raise cancer awareness and honor the memory of Joy Sparks who dedicated her life to introducing youth and adults to the joy of 4-H youth programming. We hope you will attend and join your fellow 4-H friends as we illuminate our message and awareness the evening of Thursday, Nov. 4. 2010.
Delaware 4-H is very pleased to announce that Kayla Martell, 2010 Miss Delaware will be joining us Nov. 5 for our lighted Walk for Joy along the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk.
You may have seen Kayla in the news lately! After winning Miss Delaware, Kayla has garnered a lot of attention for her platform, Alopecia Areata. With appearances on Fox & Friends, CBS Morning Show, ABC's 20/20 and a profile in People Magazine, just to name a few, Kayla's poise and confidence has consistently shown through, with or without her hair! Kayla freely credits 4-H as a significant factor in building her confidence. Kayla's connections with 4-H are featured on 4-H.org's news site

Despite having Alopecia Areata, Kayla is abundantly and obviously healthy! Yet her personal experiences have connected her to those who have lost their hair as a result of chemotherapy treatments. Men, women and children going through this treatment often suffer with self-esteem issues. Generous with her time and by sharing her experiences, Kayla is a positive role model and testament that real and lasting beauty resonates from within.
We are honored that Kayla will join us in raising cancer awareness with our walk for Joy. And like you, we are proud to have her as a member of our 4-H family.
