Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

My name is Bella Bills, and I live in Suffolk, but I was born in eastern Connecticut. My parents are Nina and Jay Bills, and I have a little sister named Zoe. My lovely grandparents are Rene and John Capone and Denise and Trevor Bills. My dream school would have to be UNCW where I would pursue my dream of becoming a radiologist. My platform is very important to me; it is the Babies Heart Run, a nonprofit organization started by my parents where we host an annual motorcycle ride to raise money for families who have a child in the NICU or PICU that doesn’t qualify for state assistance. I hope one day that I can take over this amazing organization from my parents. To help raise money for the pageant and for the Babies Heart Run, I decided to create a T-shirt design that bridges my two homes, Eastern CT and SoCo VA. Half of the proceeds will go to the Franklin-Southampton Pageant and half will go to the Babies Heart Run.
