Cheryl Girr Mrozoski, Miss
Rhode Island 1966
"I have chosen to endow this
award because this is a
successful and worthy program in
support of academic achievement
for young women. It has
been my privilege and honor to
have been directly involved in
the Miss America Scholarship
process for the past 40 years.
First as a recipient, and then
as a judge, and in all cases the
women and their families were
positively impacted.
Whether it was through financial
aid or community based work,
change occurred and the results
were beneficial to everyone who
participated. We need to
support this process and
continue effect worthwhile and
productive change." |

Marilyn Cocozza Trillo,
Miss Rhode Island 1967
"Winning the title of Miss
Rhode Island was definitely a
life altering experience.
I was encouraged to enter the
competition when I was a
freshman at Anna Maria College
for Women, and was drawn by the
incentive of scholarship awards
throughout the different phases
of competition. Many of my
unforgettable moments included
winning a Miss America Talent
Preliminary Award and attaining
third runner up to Miss America,
however my fondest memory was
traveling throughout the state
and meeting its many wonderful
citizens who were so supportive.
I strongly believe in the Miss
Rhode Island program and want to
help make the same opportunities
available to other talented
Rhode Island women who strive
for excellence through
self-expression, achievement and
community service." |

Kelly Jo Roarke, Miss
Rhode Island 1997
"I received a Bert Perks
Non-Finalist Talent Award at the
Miss America Pageant. I'm
single, reside in Atlanta, GA,
and am working in retail
management for Coach, Inc.
I am a member of the Screen
Actors Guild with many state and
screen credits, including "Girl"
in There's Something About
Mary. I had a wonderful
experience as Miss Rhode Island
and was afforded many
opportunities to grow both
personally and professionally.
It's important to me and my
family to provide scholarship
support, particularly in the
talent category, so that other
young women can continue to have
the opportunity to be recognized
and rewarded for sharing their
talents." |

Peter Koch
"I truly became a
supporter of Miss Rhode
Island/Miss America Pageant a
few years ago when I was asked
to judge for the local
competition. Prior to
that, my concept of the whole
program was limited to the
yearly national pageant on
television. My experience
as a judge really awakened me to
the commitment of women involved
and their desire to better
themselves and support and
foster platforms they have
chosen to represent. Their
intelligence and passion are to
be admired and I consider it and
honor to offer my support in
whatever manner possible." |
