On March 7th, 2015, during Miss Ohio United States Weekend 2015, Rosa Grippa, 13, of Batavia, Ohio, participated in various areas of competition such as runway, featuring The Fashion Hero reality television show, personal introduction, photogenic, people’s choice, achievement, interview, swimwear, evening gown and on-stage question. Miss Grippa excelled in each area and was ultimately crowned Miss Junior Teen Ohio United States 2015! As quoted from Angela Caliguri, Ohio State Director for Miss Ohio United States, “My Queens are young women who embody beauty, intelligence and poise. They are committed to serving their community in the United States through their own charitable goals, as well as initiatives encouraged by the Organization.” Rosa will compete on a National level in July during Miss United States Week in Washington DC, alongside women from all over the United States in hopes of taking home the MISS JUNIOR TEEN UNITED STATES NATIONAL TITLE! Rosa will represent Ohio for the next year, and she will continue to develop her platform, The Humane Society and animal rights. Rosa is the founder of The Puppy Pantry, a charitable organization which brings awareness to and raises funds for local animal shelters. In addition, throughout her reign, she will receive many opportunities to appear at charity, entertainment, political and social events with an ultimate goal to grow personally and professionally.
