Our Rock Star Award is given to a “girl” who exemplifies what it truly means to rock. Someone who has faced adversity in her life and despite what has happened continues to make a difference in those around her.

Our First Annual 2010 Rock Star Award is given to Jennifer Dooley of Tallahassee, Florida. Jennifer suffered a tragedy no mother or father should ever have to face. On April 9, 2009, her son, Michael, age 9 collapsed at Killearn Lakes Elementary School. He was rushed to the emergency room where he later died. Michael was in fourth grade.

“Jennifer Dooley's heart is bigger than any I know,” says Carmen Mullins, a family friend. “Her love of family and friends and spirit shine through always. The role of mother is far and away the most important role in her life and she is the best I've ever known. Time is a precious commodity in today's world. Jennifer never knew how much time she would get with Michael, so she made the most of every day. Friendship is something she does not take lightly. Jennifer knows the value of each moment and adds her beautiful smile and laugh to each one.”

MyGirlsRock.com will be adding Michael's Collection to our jewelry line. We will add it to our product line as soon as it becomes available. Proceeds will benefit The American Heart Association in memory of Michael.
