make her experience a success."

Miss Hegwood states, "I was born and raised in Charleston. I love South Carolina and the hardworking people that make up our communities. I can think of no better way to honor them than by competing to represent our state of SC with dignity and grace."

It takes a lot of planning and execution to enter a prestigious, top level competition like the Miss SC USA Pageant. It also takes great Sponsors who are just as dedicated. Entering the Miss SC Pageant is more than just a 'beauty contest.' There is a four year scholarship on the line.

More than that, I was just so happy to participate in a production that includes the brightest and the best young women from all over South Carolina.

/> I could not have made it to the Pageant without the help and support of my Sponsors. I thank them deeply from the heart."

April would like to thank her Sponsors:

April would like to give a special thank you to her beloved Family and friends who were "...the core emotional support in preparation for the Pageant."

April states, "Of course, none of this would have been possible without the RPM Productions, Inc. Team! I want to give special thanks to Ms. Pam. She guided me through the entire process and gave me great courage to pursue my dreams.

I want the entire RPM Team to know that I deeply appreciate my entire experience with them and the Miss SC Pageant. I met the most wonderful people and made, what I think, will be life-long friends. I intend to be back next year and pledge to represent the Palmetto State with '...love, loyalty and faith.' Many thanks."
