Miss Yuma County 2014: Hailey Bernardo and Hunger in the Community

Miss Yuma County Scholarship Pageant
Hailey Bernardo, Miss Yuma County 2014

Arizona Edition - Hailey Bernardo is a Yuma County young person trying to shed new light and offer solutions to a big local problem.  She is Miss Yuma County 2014.  Bernardo’s pageant platform is hunger, something far too many people in Yuma County are familiar with.  To highlight the issue, Bernardo has organized a Walk-off Hunger 5k this coming weekend.  KAWC’s Lou Gum sat down with Bernardo to talk about her platform…(originally aired 03/19/14).

This piece was featured in the March 19th Arizona Edition.  Other pieces featured in the show can be found below in the related content section.

Lou grew up in Tucson and has a long family history in the state of Arizona. He began his public radio career in 1988 at KNAU in Flagstaff as a classical music DJ and has been hooked on public radio since, transitioning to news after trying his hand at several other careers in publishing and commercial broadcasting. Lou has a degree in American Studies from Arizona State University and was KAWC's Morning Edition host for two and half years before becoming News and Operations Director.
