With her passion for the lives of children and her many talents including, jump rope and hula, we believe Lauren is an amazing role model," said Lincoln Jacobe, President of the Miss Hawaii Organization. Cheape beat out 11 other competitors from communities around the state entitling her to almost $7,000 in scholarship awards, and the prestigious crown passed on by 2010 Miss Hawaii and second runner-up for the Miss America Pageant, Jalee Fuselier. With an alluring jump rope routine to Jerry Lee Lewis's rock-n-roll hit "Great Balls of Fire" and the awards for Community Service and Best Swimsuit, the 23-year-old easily took the crown. On her journey as Miss Hawaii 2011, Cheap will follow a platform of C.A.R.E. As founder of the "C.A.R.E: Collegiate Athletes Reaching Everyone" program, Cheape believes in the impact that student athletes can make in the lives of youth. C.A.R.E. utilizes the talents and gifts of college athletes to encourage children to stay in school, stay active, and live healthy lives. In 2009, the University of Hawaii implemented the C.A.R.E. program and mandated that every student athlete contribute a minimum of 6 community service hours to elementary public schools in need. To date, the C.A.R.E. program has sent more than 250 student athletes to more than 30 events, touching more than 3,000 lives. "I believe the youth in our country are faced with many pressing issues - schools are cutting physical education programs, childhood obesity is at epidemic levels, and positive role models are few and far between, all problems that can be addressed by the C.A.R.E. program," expresses Cheape. A local girl from Mililani, Cheape graduated in 2005 from Mililani High School and is a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Cheape received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Film (Directing) from the UH Academy of Creative Media (ACM) with a double Minor in Business and Japanese. She plans on pursuing a Master¹s degree in Business Administration and becoming a successful film director.
