LITTLE ROCK - Nancy Anne Lawson, a six year old kindergartener and the reigning America's Ideal Miss Arkansas JR Princess, and her volunteer partner Stacy Walz, donated 180 Handicap Barbies to Arkansas Children's Hospital Tuesday in Little Rock as part of their second annual Handicap Barbie Drive. Last year was the first year and she donated 103 of the Barbies. That's thousands of dollars raised to bring joy to the children of Arkansas who have handicaps and are being treated at ACH! The Barbies donated include dolls with wheelchairs, Down Syndrome, hearing aids, scoliosis, amputees, and Vitiligo. Over all, this makes over 1,200 items Nancy Anne has donated to ACH, including fleece blankets at Christmas, toys, Easter baskets, hats for babies in the NICU, puzzles, and valentine bags. Nancy Anne will be competing this summer for the national title and a $5,000 scholarship in Georgia.
