Danielle Dodson, Miss Missouri National US 2009 was recently invited back by the American Cancer Society of Kansas City to act as Grand Marshall of Marti-Bra 2009. The event was held to raise awareness about breast cancer and receive 1,000 bras to be donated to HOPE houses in Kansas City for battered and abused women. Danielle hosted the event with 98.1 KUDL's DJs and spoke about her personal battle with breast cancer and said, "it's important for young people to be aware that they are not immune, and breast cancer does not discriminate." She later led the parade of survivors and the candle ceremony which raised $3,000. Danielle also received the honor of being nominated for Who's Who Among Professional Women 2009! Congratulations Danielle!
