MGBCO - Meet Brittany

Brittany Kuperavage currently holds the title of Miss Greater Berks County 2009. During the week of June 21-27, Brittany represented the Greater Berks County area at the Miss Pennsylvania Pageant in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Brittany performed her talent, a lyrical dance to “I Run for Life” by breast cancer survivor, Melissa Etheridge. Adding to her platform of Cancer Awareness, Brittany danced in memory of all those who have lost their battles with cancer, and in honor of all the strong men and women continuing their battles today. Although she did not come home with the crown, she was honored to compete on behalf of the area she calls home. Miss Pennsylvania was an experience of a lifetime, with many memories she will never forget.
