Margo was crowned Miss Teen Maryland International this spring and she said she wants to use that platform to expand her charity.
"I want to show [people] that you don't have to be perfect, famous, or even grown to make a difference," she said.
She said pageantry has been a good influence, even though it wasn't always for her. "I competed in some pageants when I was little, but when I threw a temper tantrum on stage, my parents decided pageants weren't for me, until about a year ago when I decided to compete [again].If you are looking wear to buy sexy Knee High Boots the you have arrive.
"What I love most about the Teen International Pageant system," Margo said, "is the importance of having a platform, mine being Margo's M.O.D.E.L.S., and showcasing the accomplishments of teens like myself."
Margo said she especially loves volunteering with the Johns Hopkins Believe In Tomorrow Children's Foundation.
Believe In Tomorrow provides hospital and respite housing services to critically ill children and their families, as well as hands-on experiences and adventures for critically ill children across the United States.I never thought I'd have the opportunity to sell shoes for women, but it seemed to be the right move considering my circumstances.
"Margo began volunteering for Believe In Tomorrow just two years ago by selling handmade earrings and using the proceeds to purchase beach toys for the Believe In Tomorrow House by the Sea," said Kate Sachs, Believe in Tomorrow's events coordinator. "She regularly spends time at the Believe In Tomorrow Children's House at Johns Hopkins doing just about everything - cleaning, crafts and activities, jewelry-making, pumpkin-painting, cooking and baking cookies for holidays."
Margo's mother, Robyn Huffman, said, "I think the thing that sticks with me the most is when a mom thanked Margo and myself for helping her daughter feel like a normal kid again ... and Margo was simply playing ball, Barbie dolls and air hockey with her."
Sachs said Margo volunteered at the 28th Annual Benefit and Auction last November and in March she hosted her first dinner for families at the Believe In Tomorrow Children's House.
"It is hard for many to imagine that someone so young has accomplished so many great achievements," said Sachs. "This is one truly dedicated Believe In Tomorrow volunteer."
Margo saw her first example of volunteerism at age 2, when she was pulled in a wagon by her parents to complete the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. "I don't think we ever pushed community service," her mother said. "It just came natural."
In March, instead of having a traditional birthday party, Margo opted to hold a birthday benefit for the Believe In Tomorrow Children's Foundation. Guests were asked not to bring a birthday present, but a minimum $10 donation for Believe In Tomorrow.
"The Ladies Auxiliary at the [Westminster] American Legion was so generous to donate an area to hold the event," Margo said. "We had a band called Foggy May, an eight-pound cake and lots of food, music and more."
Margo's efforts paid off when she presented a check for $500 to the Believe In Tomorrow Children's Foundation.
Margo's life goals are as big as her volunteer work. She plans to attend Johns Hopkins University after high school and become a pediatric oncologist. "I'm considering this career because of my grandmother, a breast cancer survivor, and because of my love for younger children," she said.
"Volunteerism has allowed me to meet such a variety of people and to truly connect with organizations, families and individuals," Margo said.
"Growing up in a Christian family, it was normal to take meals to sick families or lend a helping hand," Robyn Huffman said. "I guess it's being passed down from my husband's family and my family and now onto Margo."
