Kristi Miller Nunn
It's been amazing to see this pageant come
together in just 4 months. I'm overwhelmed with
gratitude for everyone who has volunteered their
time and talents to help me achieve a goal I've had
since I began in pageantry - to create a program
where girls and young women can develop
important life skills and cultivate talents and
friendships in a supportive, fun environment.
Thank you to the amazing parents - you're raising
a group of powerful, intelligent, kind girls who will
be a force in this world. Our program wouldn't be
possible without your support. This truly takes a
village and I'm lucky to have each of you in mine.

Stephanie Brode
Stephanie Brode holds the
title of Mrs Ohio American

it gave her a way to serve
the community.

Foundation, a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization to
support families affected by alcohol and drug
addiction. In her spare time, she practices medicine
as a Family Physician at the Cleveland Clinic in

running after her toddler, Logan, or on the trails in
the metroparks. She keeps herself together with
plenty of fashion tape, but mostly with the support of
her husband, Dustin.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction is a nationwide epidemic that affects more
than just the addicted. This organization was inspired by our late father
who suffered from alcoholism for over 20 years. The goal of the
Cardinal Crew is to raise awareness, provide scholarships and resources
to those suffering.
