Relay for Life

There’s plenty of action for the Pink Ladies of Sparkling Tiara this week as they prepare to participate in Relay for Life on May 11th at Charlie Daniels Park. Sparkling Tiara places community involvement as a top priority because we love our friends, families, neighbors, and customers. This fundraising event is particularly important for us as we honor the members of our community who have struggled with cancer. We hope you join us for a day of remembrance, education about cancer screening, celebration of survivors, and community fellowship.

According to the official website, Relay for Life began in the mid-80s with the effort of colorectal surgeon Dr. Gordy Klatt. In 1985, Klatt spent 24 hours walking or running around a track: his efforts culminated in his running a spectacular 83 miles and, together with his community, raising $27,000 for his local Tacoma ACS office. Since that time Relay for Life has grown into a meaningful event for communities across America to collaborate and support screening and research for all types of cancer. The 12 hour event includes a survivors lap, a caregivers lap, a memorial lap, a luminaria ceremony, great food, and fundraising activities.

Mount Juliet’s own Relay for Life 2012 is sure to be an incredible occasion. 19 teams of 187 participants are signed up to join in the relay. Sparkling Tiara won’t be hard to find: just think pink! The winners of last year’s “best campsite” award are at it again with their favorite theme color. We’ve spent last weekend working on the campsite and getting everything ready for our visitors. Come by and check out a paradise of pink! We’ll have pink popcorn, cotton candy, sweets, and home-made baked goods for sale (yes – all pink!). All of the Sparkling Tiara Pink Ladies will contribute delicious, charmingly decorated treats. In the spirit of serving our community 100%: we’ll donate all of the proceeds to the cause. Just look for the ladies in the pretty pink t-shirts!  We look forward to seeing you there!

Mount Juliet Relay for Life will be held from 6am to 6pm on Friday, May 11th.

Pink Ladies: Sparkling Tiara’s Shining Staff Serves Their Community, Families, and You!

Who are those ladies who greet you with a smile every time you come in for a visit? The ladies who keep the store clean and stocked with the coolest items around? The ladies who keep your queens and princesses happy with the best royal treatment at the fanciest parties in town? The ladies who excel in school and make our community a better place to be? The Pink Ladies, of course!

The Pink Ladies are the staff here at Sparkling Tiara, and this month we’d like to spotlight these special women as a team. They are a unique group of students and cherished professionals who all show remarkable initiative, interest in business, and have personalities which shine in store and out. Kathy Brown, or “Sparkling Sissy,” is a mentor and role model for the younger employees. Her sparkling smile and bubbly personality make her a top salesperson. She has a warm spirit and sets a fantastic example for the other Pink Ladies. “Sparkling Sissy” is retired from Bank of America, where she worked for 30 years. Now, she works at Sparkling Tiara during the week. Sissy, along with the other Pink Ladies, is also active in the Wilson County community.

Community involvement is a regular activity for all of the Pink Ladies. Last year, the Sparkling Tiara Pink Ladies participated in Relay for Life, during which the girls won an award for the best campsite. The Pink Ladies are looking forward to participating again this year. The Pink Ladies have also helped run a spring fashion show at Charlie Daniels Park. The fashion show was a great way to add some sparkle to an exciting day of dress up fun for princesses, divas, and queens of all ages. Summer stays busy with the 4th of July celebrations, and the August princess breakfast party at Chick-fil-A. In the fall the Sparkling staff takes part in the Halloween festivities at Charlie Daniels Park. The Pink Ladies also donate time and resources to several causes such as Toys for Tots and Susan G Komen for the Cure. The Pink Ladies’ community involvement extends beyond activities with Sparkling Tiara and into participation in their schools’ volunteer programs, as well. It’s our mission to add sparkle everywhere we can, and we’re happy to grow a business in such a wonderful and thriving community!

Our Pink Ladies know that family matters. These women put their parents and siblings first. It’s obvious that each Pink Lady adores children and values the impact that positive role models can have on a growing girl. In addition to family matters – grades are tops! Those who are students are a part of honor societies and Dean’s lists. They make time to study for advanced placement classes and projects that will prepare them for careers as educators, businesswomen, and medical specialists. This is why sparkling parties are so special! The Pink Ladies are all upbeat, fun loving young women who show princesses a great time and set a positive example for growing girls.

Any time you and your princess walk into our store, you’ll be treated to the best customer service around – complete with a cheerful smile!  Kindness, smarts, and dedication make these dynamic gals the perfect employees and great role models for your little princesses. Stop in at Sparkling Tiara and see our Pink Ladies today!
